Digital Power Design Suite

Microchip’s Digital Power Design Suite includes the Digital Compensator Design Tool (DCDT), MPLAB^® Code Configurator (MCC), Microchip compensator libraries and design examples.

These four packages combine to provide the tools and required guidance for developing complete digital power designs. Once the initial simulation model of your design is ready, the DCDT can be used to analyze the design and the feedback transfer function and to generate compensator coefficients. Device initialization code can be generated with the help of MCC, and the final firmware can be created with some help from the code examples and the code generated from MCC and the DCDT.
