Development kit targets solar micro inverters

The C2000 Solar Micro Inverter Development Kit (TMDSSOLARUINVKIT) is based on the Texas Instruments F28035 MCU. Users can evaluate the design initially through a simple graphical interface without the need to dive into code development.

The kit implements control of an active clamp flyback DC/DC converter with secondary voltage multiplier, maximum power point tracking (MPPT), and a grid-tied DC/AC inverter. It supports 28 to 45 V panels with universal power output at up to 280 W for 220 VAC and up to 140 W for 110 VAC with 93% peak efficiency and less than 4% THD.
