Description
The PWM Generator (DC-DC) block outputs a pulse to fire the MOSFET, GTO, or IGBT switch of a one-quadrant converter (buck or boost). The duty cycle of the generator is specified by the input D. A value between 0 and 1 determines the percentage of the pulse period that the output is on.
Parameters
- Switching frequency (Hz)
Specify the switching frequency Fsw of the generator, in hertz. The switching frequency is the frequency of the internal sawtooth signal used to generate the pulse. Default is
5000
.- Sample time
Specify the sample time of the block, in seconds. Set to 0 to implement a continuous block. Default is
0
.
Inputs and Outputs
D
The duty cycle of the generator. Specify a signal with a value between 0 and 1.
P
Outputs the pulse.
Characteristics
Sample Time | Specified in the Sample Time parameter Continuous if Sample Time = 0 |
Scalar Expansion | No |
Dimensionalized | No |
Examples
The power_PWMGeneratorDCDC
example
shows the operation of the PWM Generator (DC-DC) block. Run the simulation
for various duty cycles values and observe the resulting voltage and
current on the Scope block.
The model sample time is parameterized with variable Ts (default
value Ts = 500e-9
). To run a continuous simulation,
at the MATLAB® command prompt, enter
Ts = 0
Continuous
before
starting the simulation.Version History
