Vishay Dale's FPGA-based control printed circuit assembly (PCA) is a standalone controller for performing experiments in the Power Electronics Lab, based on the approach in the textbook Power Electronics: Converters, Applications and Design, written by Ned Mohan, Tore M. Undeland, and William P. Robbins; and the Electric Drives Lab, based on the approach in the textbook Electric Machines and Drives: A First Course by Ned Mohan.

The controller is equipped with an analog/digital interface compatible with the Power-Pole PCA to facilitate various PWM control functions without requiring the use of an interfacing PC.

This product is commonly used with Vishay product number 75771 (37-pin DSUB cable) and 87784 (8-pin encoder cable). Both cables are also used in Power Electronics Lab experiments.

Features
