TI microcontrollers along with a Wolfram three-phase motherboard

Hello Experts

Can we use TI microcontrollers along with a Wolfram three-phase motherboard like MOD-MB-3P-0900V-40A-N DC-AC for (inverter) and MPPT design just to use all in one?

Hello,

Can you please provide some additional information on what you are trying to do? The 3-phase SpeedVal board currently supports an NXP controller card. We can provide guidance on how to adapt it to use a TI controller if needed. Are you looking to use 2 boards, one for MPPT and one for the inverter?

Thanks,

Adam

Hello Adam,

We would like to use TI C2000 microcontroller controller board available. We are trying to use TI microcontroller for our project. Is there any particular reason or advantage only NXP controller are available? We are trying to design a single-phase invertor with MPPT; can we do that with a three-phase development board? Do we need a separate development board for MPPT ?

Hello,

The half-bridge motherboard, MOD-MB-HB-0900V-40A supports the TI control card as well as the NXP card using an adapter for NXP. We currently only have an NXP controller solution on the 3-phase board, but it is compatible with the TI control card using an adapter, however, we do not have firmware available yet. Attached here are the schematic and PCB fab files if you would like to build the adapter board allowing a C2000 control card to plug into the 3-Phase motherboard and develop firmware on that platform.

If you want to implement an MPPT and inverter, you will need to use the half-bridge board operating as a boost converter to act as the MPPT, and feed the output bus from that into the DC link on the 3-phase board which can act as the inverter. Please note that the half-bridge board has open loop boost control, so you would need to write your own MPPT algorithm to achieve that functionality.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
