ABSTRACT
Conventionally, power electronics converters and motor drives have been controlled using analog integrated circuit technology and linear system design techniques. Analog control techniques have been predominant due to their simplicity as well as their low implementation cost. However, they are sensitive to environmental disturbances such as noise, temperature, and aging. Besides, implementation of sophisticated advanced control techniques employing analog circuits is inherently difficult. In this chapter, a comprehensive review of digital controllers for power converters and motor drives is presented.
