Abstract – A methodology for the development of a digital controller for a static power converter is presented in this paper, including the behavioral model of the analog part of it. The digital controller is realized using hardware description language VHDL on FPGA, and the analog part is modeled using the Matlab Simulink. The integration of the whole structure – converter and control system – allows that the control system may be simulated, tested and validated with no need of a prototype.
