how can i build a fpga controller? i will be using it to control the mosfet of a step up (boost) converter
 

Re: fpga controller

but i cant open that link. why
 

Re: fpga controller

Using a plain MC34063 controller would be much simpler solution, but if you must use FPGA, then I'd recommend the PicoBlaze controller from Xilinx.
It is free, compact and easy to use, has got assembler and even a C-compiler for free.
You can fit many of them in a single FPGA ( depending on the size of your FPGA of course ).
This IP is also very fast and can handle quite complicated tasks ( up to 1024 program words ). i used it once to control my levitating globe and it worked very nicely. I had to read Hall sensor with a serial A/D converter and produce PWM to control a MOSFET coil driver. So I think PicoBlaze would be just fine for this kind of tasks.

regards, yego
