Implementation of FPGA Based LED Dimmer Control as Practical Workshop for Students of Power Electronics

15th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (EPE/PEMC 2012) 2012
Ansis Avotiņš, Aleksandrs Suzdaļenko, Iļja Galkins

Project based workshop on LED dimmer control with FPGA development kit, is aimed to increase practical skills for engineering students. Workshop consists of lectures and various laboratory works, which implements widely used industry tasks as examples, like indication with 7 segment display, serial communication, and specific timer module for PWM generation and proportional regulator for power converter control. Laboratory works improve students’ design and practical skills as well as decrease the time spent on solving such simple tasks. Those skills are well received from industrial companies when students do their practice during the Bachelor study course.
