Using System-on-Chip Boards for the Deployment of Controller for Verification and Prototyping

New control strategies for power converters are mainly tested using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) based rapid control prototyping (RCP) platforms in academia and industry research. In this paper, different strategies to use the system-on-chip boards for power electronics application are presented with pros and cons of each technique. The hardware software co-design work flow utilizing Intel and Matlab's toolchain is elaborately described. The proposed approach to implement a controller for power electron-ics application, that is cost-effective, offers more freedom for customization and will help decrease the product's time-to-market is presented. The introduced approach will be used to experimentally verify the performance of the exemplary PQ Controller designed for Grid-tied converter with LC filter.
