ABSTRACT
This chapter describes how Texas Instruments digital signal processor (TI DSP) TMS320F2812 can be used to generate pulse width modulation (PWM) gate drive output for the single-phase half H-bridge (SPHHB) inverter. Experimental investigation of the gate drive, output voltage and current waveforms for an SPHHB inverter were studied using a Simulink model of the gate drive developed using Simulink and the Embedded coder block set interfaced to TI DSP TMS320F2812. The experimental set-up consists of an eZdsp F2812 board, an SPHHB inverter and its gate drive modules. The real-time SIL simulation of the SPHHB sine PWM inverter was carried out using the model of the gate drive developed using the Simulink Sources and Embedded coder block set. The model build was carried out and the source code generated was compiled using Code Composer Studio (CCS) software. CCS is an integrated design environment that provides an environment for project development with all tools for real-time applications using only TI DSP.
