The hardware of the single-phase project consists of a 10cm by 10cm printed circuit board that hosts 5 electronics blocks.
These blocks all fulfill functions which are necessary to the proper operation of any power electronics converter.
Figure 1 illustrates these blocks.

Each block is explained in detail in the sections below.

Power Block¶

The Power Block is the part that manages input/output power within the board.
It consists of a single inverter leg, as illustrated in the figure below.

This topology allows the control of the current in the inductor L by controlling its charge and discharge using the switches.
The figure below shows the switching and the current flow within the inductor.
