FPGAs are interesting choices for control of power electronics converters and electrical drives. In this paper, implementation of the control method of a reduced switch- count five-leg converter is carried out. Two PWM methods are studied. For verification of the implemented controller in a practical manner, without risking the damaging of the real system, “FPGA in the loop” experiments are performed. It is shown that using the proposed methodology, FPGA implementation and verification is fast and effective. The provided results show the high performance of the implemented controller on the FPGA, therefore the feasibility and suitability of the FPGA for this application is approved.
