UM0527 User manual UPS evaluation board Introduction The UPS evaluation board provides a complete solution addressing the low/medium range UPS segment with 700 VA output power capability. The evaluation board, from a hardware and firmware point of view, is ready to support the development of a complete solution.
UM0527 General description General description Hardware architecture 1.1.1 General realization The UPS evaluation board is built in offline topology with AVR regulation of the mains boost and buck. The inverter module contains the push-pull DC/DC converter and the DC/AC output full-bridge generating quasi-sine waveform. The battery charger module is connected at the output of the UPS and it also has the function of taking over the reactive power which is present on the inverter during battery operation with reactive - resistive load.

General description UM0527 The DC/AC inverter was built in full-bridge topology. The output waveform is a quasi-sine waveform. The inverter is controlled by the microcontroller across two PWM drivers which switch four power transistors. The high-side driver parts are supplied with the bootstrap circuitry D1, C1 and D2, C2.
General description UM0527 The power line contains: ● two pole separation relays DPNO (RL1) (with 2 mm gap) ● two relays DPDT (RL2, RL3) ● two pole switching battery/mains relays DPDT (RL4) ● two pole output on/off relays DPNO (RL5) All relay coils are powered from the battery and charger voltage.

General description UM0527 The battery charger is used as a battery charger for the mains mode or as a reactive power recirculation circuit for the inverter mode. For both modes the charger output power is accepted by the battery. The charger power converter is built in quasi-resonant flyback mode based on the controller L6565 with external power switch Q1 and output diode D1.

General description UM0527 synchronized with the mains, the ACF! signal is set to low and the inverter is switched off. – Mains mode - in this mode the battery charger is switched on and the UPS is supplied from the mains. The inverter is switched off (INV_A and INV_B are in low state), and ACF! is high.
UM0527 General description Figure 12. Main flowchart 1.2.5 The ADC thread measures values as described below: ● Mains voltage - the voltage measured at INP_LEV is needed for calculating the following values: – RMS - true RMS main voltage which determines the working mode of the UPS: mains mode, buck mode, boost mode or inverter mode.
General description UM0527 value. The result of the comparison is used to make the decision to change the working mode from the mains to the inverter. – Battery voltage - the value measured at AKK_LEV input determines the process of charging and discharging the battery.
