P&O MPPT Algorithm: From Theory to DSP Implementation Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is the algorithmic heart of any photovoltaic or DC-source energy harvesting system. Among the family of MPPT algorithms, the Perturb & Observe (P&O) method remains the most…
Bidirectional DC-DC Converter Control for Energy Storage Systems Bidirectional DC-DC converters form the critical interface between the battery bank and the DC bus in energy storage Power Conversion Systems (PCS). This article examines a production-grade four-phase interleaved bidirectional DC-DC controller…
Three-Level NPC Inverter SVM Implementation on DSP28335 The three-level Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) inverter has become the topology of choice for medium-voltage and high-power energy storage applications, offering lower device voltage stress and reduced output harmonic content compared to two-level topologies. This…
STM32 Advanced Timer PWM Configuration for Full-Bridge Inverters Configuring the STM32 advanced-control timers (TIM1 and TIM8) for power electronics applications requires careful attention to dead-time insertion, complementary output generation, and break protection. This article presents a production-tested configuration extracted from…
Why Your IoT Product Needs Secure Boot and Encrypted OTA Updates in 2026 In 2020, a hacker compromised a fleet of IoT security cameras by exploiting an unsigned firmware update mechanism. The attacker deployed custom firmware that added the cameras…
Power Supply Design for Industrial Electronics: Key Considerations for Reliability and Efficiency In the world of industrial electronics, the power supply is the silent foundation upon which every other subsystem depends. Unlike consumer electronics, where a few milliseconds of instability…
