Review Part 3: Dynamically adjust the output voltage using external DAC
This part of the review was done together with another community member dhmarinov
Aim: To dynamically adjust the Vout of the DC/DC converter by injecting small current in the feedback network via external DAC.
Setup: ZedBoard Zynq-7000 FPGA Development Board plugged in with the AMS101 plug in board using AD5065 DAC. The DAC output was fed to the VADJ pin via small RDAC resistance. The fpga control code is written in Xilinx Vivado and Xilinx SDK 2016.
