Evaluation on the capabilities of MATLAB Simulink’s Embedded Coder for rapid prototyping of micro-controller based control systems for switching converters
Switching converters play a crucial role in modern power electronics, offering efficient voltage conversion in various electronic devices. This paper presents an approach to the rapid prototyping for micro-controller based control systems,
applied to the buck-converter topology. The methodology utilized features from MATLAB Simulink and it’s Embedded Coder extension to model and implement the control system, enabling a simplified transition from simulation to hardware implementation. For this purpose the paper evaluates two control systems, namely the error-amplifier and the PID controller. Comparative analysis reveals insights on the startup behavior, RMS voltage, peak-to-peak voltage and maximum voltage. While the simulation outperformed the measurements of the hardware implementation in most parts, this paper still underscores the utility of MATLAB Simulink’s Embedded Coder for rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop development of switching converter control systems.
