The PXS20 family of 32-bit Power Architecture® microcontrollers is designed to specifically address the requirements of the safety standards IEC61511 and IEC61508 (SIL3). It reduces design complexity and component count by putting key functional safety features on a single chip with a dual-core, dual-issue architecture, which can be statically switched between lockstep mode (redundant processing and calculations) to decoupled parallel mode (independent core operation). The PXS20 microcontrollers are SafeAssure solutions.

The PXS20 series microcontrollers are system-on-chip devices that are built on Power Architecture technology and contain enhancements that improve the architecture’s fit in embedded applications, include additional instruction support for digital signal processing (DSP) and integrate technologies such as an enhanced time processor unit, enhanced queued analog-to-digital converter, Controller Area Network, and an enhanced modular input-output system.

The PXS20 family of 32-bit microcontrollers is the latest achievement in integrated safety controllers. The advanced and cost-efficient host processor core of the PXS20 family complies with the Power Architecture embedded category. It operates at speeds as high as 120 MHz and offers high-performance processing optimized for low power consumption. It capitalizes on the available development infrastructure of current Power Architecture devices and is supported with software drivers, operating systems and configuration code to assist with users’ implementations.

采用PXS20控制的太阳能三相逆变器

Solar Panel 3-Phase Inverter Controlled by the PXS20

Today, the demand for green energy is very strong. One possible option for meeting this demand is to convert solar energy into electrical energy. This process is supported by the photovoltaic (PV) solar panel, which produces various DC output voltages and output power.

In the conversion from DC to AC power, dedicated inverters maintain the right working point for the solar panel to maximize its use of solar energy. Freescale Semiconductor’s processors built on Power Architecture® technology are well suited for the control of such inverters. Freescale offers a broad portfolio of PX microcontrollers built on Power Architecture technology for power management and motor control applications. The target portfolio for these devices includes consumer, industrial, and other markets. One microcontroller from the PX Series of Power Architecture devices can control the whole 3-phase inverter in various configurations and output power.

The demonstrator uses a standard PXS20 controller board and a 3-phase inverter analog board that can support an H-bridge or H5 topology. The input of each phase is represented by the isolated 15V DC power supplies (replacing the solar panels in this demonstrator). The control and measurement circuitry can be powered by the separated DC power source, or by one of the phase power sources.
