Here are some of the advantages for using a digitally controlled DC-DC converter.

• High resolution pulse width and frequency setting
• Dead band / Dead zone for bridges to avoid shoot through
• Chopper for gate drive transformers
• Internally / externally synchronizing autonomous modules
• Voltages for comparison can be set digitally
• Event triggering
• Time dependent comparisons
• High resolution A2D conversion
• Simultaneous sampling
• Temperature, voltage, current, etc. monitoring
• Temperature, voltage, current, etc. fault detection
• Production self test and diagnostic
• Power monitoring and reporting
