The DC/DC converters in the Advanced Photon Source storage ring are more than 15 years old, and an upgrade is underway to resolve the aging and obsolescence issues. In the upgrade, an 18-bit resolution for current regulation is desired. This paper describes a digital control system to achieve this goal. The system uses a serializer chip, TI TLK2541, combined with a ∑-Δ modulator to realize a 21-bit digital pulse width modulation (DPWM). Analog and digital filters are implemented to block the ripple currents and to reduce the EMI noises. Deployed with filter circuits, a digital compensator has been designed to meet the requirements of output current regulation. Furthermore, a voltage feed forward is employed to compensate for input bus voltage variations. A prototype digital controller using a field-programmable-gate-array development board has been developed. The resolution of the current regulation, and the effect of noises into the digital controlled power converter system have been tested and analyzed.
