The next generation Power Board for the AXIOM Beta will feature Smart Switching Regulators to increase the power efficiency and flexibility in voltage regulation. The idea is to use a custom switching regulator based on an energy efficient FPGA/CPL and a power stage.
This task comes in different flavors, ranging from Medium to Hard.
**Goals:**
- Define the conroll loop and switching modes. (Medium)
- Implement controll loop and switcher (Medium)
- Simulate switcher to ensure functionality (Hard)
- Test and optimize switching behaviour (Extreme)
**Prerequisites:**
- Switching Regulator Know-How
- Mixed Mode Simulation Know-How
**Language Skills:**
- HDL (VHDL or Verilog)
**Difficulty:** Medium or Hard
**Mentors:** Bertl
**Notes:** If you do not have access to the required hardware platforms/dev kits, we will provide them (or remote access) to you for the duration of the project.
