3 Phase Wave Generation 3 Phase waveform generation using Timer/Counter1 and 3 on atmega128 Topics Sinusoidal Wave Generation Theory Atmega128 setup and considerations Results 3 Phase line to line voltages uC used to control switch states +E or 0 is shown to the load on each phase Depends on if upper or lower switch is on 3 Phase line to line voltages 2/3 on switching scheme used Allowing switches to be off for 1/3 of the time reduces switching power losses Line to neutral voltages are not sinusoidal, but line to line are!!! Topics Sinusoidal Wave Generation Theory Atmega128 setup and considerations Results uC Sinusoidal PWM Line to neutral voltages approximated using PWM switching Average output voltage controlled by duty cycle uC duty cycle OCRnA:C/Top Top and pre-scaler are set so switching frequency is at 20kHz Lookup Table Generation Using Excel duty cycle of was approximated One cycle broken up into 192 steps Sin 2*PI*i/192 , i 0..191 OCRnA:C Round Sin 2*PI*i/192 *TOP TOP value is 400 for my 20kHz switching frequency Looking up values frees up uC for other tasks sine Look-Up Table Sin lookup table array Timer/Counter 1/3 Setup Phase Frequency correct PWM Dual Slope Operation Used to control switches Timer/Counter1 Upper Switches Timer/Counter3 Lower Switches Timer/Counter 3 switches inverse of Timer/Counter 1 Output bit is set or cleared on compare match Timer/Counter 2 Updates Timer/Counter1/3 OCRnA,OCRnB,OCRnC to control duty cycle Counter variable incremented by 3 every time Timer/Counter 2 interrupts OCRnA:C value generated from lookup table OCRnA sin_lookup[counter] OCRnB sin_lookup[counter+1] OCRnC sin_lookup[counter+2] Interrupts occur fdesired*192 times per second My epiphany Viewing Wave forms Topics Sinusoidal Wave Generation Theory Atmega128 setup and considerations Results Results Shoot Thru If S+ and S- on at same time the circuit would short Shoot Thru To avoid shoot-thru add a switching delay Amount to increment or decrement by d
