Digital Power Tools—Before and Now
Before the PowerSmart Development Suite was launched, designers used our Digital Compensator Design Tool (DCDT) along with our optimized compensator libraries for the firmware needed to control switch mode power supplies. Although this combination of tools worked well for many previous digital power applications, it lacked the flexibility the PowerSmart Development Suite provides today. For example, the legacy library offered optimized code for fixed functions such as 3P3Z compensator algorithms. This worked well for single-loop control systems but was sometimes challenging to apply to multi-phase, multi-loop systems. DCLD’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides more flexibility for today’s complex systems by enabling you to generate optimized assembly code based on your system’s parameters and required features.
- The legacy Digital Compensator Design Tool has been archived.
- The SMPS Control Library that the DCDT used has been archived.
