Abstract :
A novel and simple PC-based scheme is presented. This scheme utilizes a PC to generate the required pulses to control any semiconductor power switch of static converters. Using this scheme avoids the use of any extra input/output cards with their complicated programming. Another advantage of this scheme is the use of a high level language instead of assembly language. Experimental results confirm the validity of this scheme.
