STM32: Control a Boost Converter

Dive into the world of boost converters with our comprehensive course, designed to teach you how to create and implement these essential devices using the powerful Nucleo-F401RE development board. Starting with the core principles of boost converter design, you’ll learn the fundamental equations and theoretical underpinnings that drive their operation.

Transitioning from theory to practice, this course will guide you through firmware development using the STM32CubeIDE. You will gain valuable hands-on experience in implementing Voltage Mode Control using the Hysteresis method within STM32 firmware, providing a solid grasp of control mechanisms and their real-world applications.

A key component of the course is the integration of MATLAB for designing and simulating a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller tailored for boost converters. You’ll learn how to generate digital controller coefficients in MATLAB and successfully implement these in firmware to achieve precise Voltage Mode Control on the STM32 platform.

This course offers practical exercises and real-world examples to ensure a thorough understanding of the concepts. The Nucleo-F401RE development board is not mandatory but is highly recommended to maximize your hands-on learning experience.

By the end of this course, you will have a deep understanding of boost converters, advanced control strategies, and the practical skills needed to implement these in various projects and professional settings. This course is ideal for engineering students, hobbyists, professionals, and anyone interested in enhancing their knowledge in power electronics and control systems. Whether you’re an aspiring engineer or a seasoned professional, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to master boost converter design and implementation.
