Overall System

Updated Overall Block Diagram.PNG

           A block diagram and outline of our overall system to assist in determining our design specifications required, design component values, and design performance parameters was created.  This is the system that is the planned implementation of our project, therefore it was necessary to determine the feasibility of the system on a small scale through calculations, simulations, and experimental testing.

PIC16F887 Frequency Driver PWM

           The frequency driver is an important requirement as a portion of the overall block diagram and is the block that drives the 1MHz frequency signal modified with pulse width modulation for use by the gate driver.  The two frequency drivers we used are the PIC16F887 and the Arduino Uno.  In order to generate a PWM, code must be utilized and uploaded onto the microcontroller and then the circuit must be properly supplied with power.
