Design and Realization of Low Cost Discrete PSD Controller for Power Electronics Applications

Most systems are controlling by common PID controllers. These PID controllers are available in variety possibilities. They are divided by types of controlling systems, by speed of action interference, by complexity, by robustness etc. Most of industrial controllers are very expensive and except of some basic setting they are not offering any other way, how to involve into controlling process. On the other side, developing new analog controller to control simple systems is not reasonable in financial or time issue. That´s why we decided to build simple, discrete controller and implement its algorithm into single chip eight bit microcontroller (MCU). This discrete controller - PSD - is characteristic its simplicity and variability. It can control plenty of less complicated systems by a mere change of its characteristic parameters. Thanks to modern approach is possible to create a full-featured controller including power action element on an area equal to 7cm².
