PSOC™ Control Low-Voltage Development Expansion Kit

Introduction

Infineon Technologies’ PSOC™ Control Low-Voltage Development Expansion Kit, KIT_PSC3_LLC1, is a development platform for low-voltage LLC resonant-converter control. Part of the PSOC™ Control MCU low-voltage power-board portfolio, it is intended to support the development and testing of digital power-conversion control rather than serve as a finished converter product.

The kit is technically notable for pairing an LLC resonant-converter power stage with access to digital closed-loop control through a compatible PSOC™ Control MCU card.

What it does

KIT_PSC3_LLC1 provides a highly integrated and flexible platform for evaluating low-voltage LLC resonant-converter operation under digital control. LLC converters use a resonant conversion topology, and this expansion kit is designed specifically as a board-level development and testing environment for that topology.

To access the signals needed for digital closed-loop software control of the LLC converter, the kit requires Infineon’s CC1 MCU control card, KITPSC3M5CC1. With that card in place, developers can work with the converter through digital control software and evaluate closed-loop control approaches on the low-voltage platform.

Applications

Potential uses that follow directly from the kit’s stated purpose include:

• Development of digital control software for LLC resonant converters
• Evaluation of closed-loop power-conversion control methods
• Testing PSOC™ Control MCU-based control of a low-voltage LLC converter
• Prototyping and educational work involving resonant power-conversion control

Design considerations

This is an expansion kit, not a standalone MCU development board. Integration planning should account for the required CC1 MCU control card, KITPSC3M5CC1, which provides access to the signals used for digital closed-loop software control.

The board is specified for a low-voltage LLC resonant-converter implementation. Designers should therefore treat it as a development and test platform for the stated converter type, rather than assuming applicability to other converter topologies or voltage ranges not identified in the available data.
