switch mode power supply - Digital SMPS Vs. Analog SMPS


There are several ways to implement the current/voltage control for an SMPS. The easy way I see is to use an ASIC/PMIC to manage the control loop. One of the other methods would be implement a PID control algorithm using a microcontroller and control the duty cycle of an SMPS.


I need some help in understanding the pros and cons of the above two methods in order to arrive at a justification of selecting one of the two methods.


Besides, if in case, there are control/communication/dimming requirements, then a PMIC with an MCU could also be used.


Please support me with some comparison.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
