Abstract

The authors outline an inverter scheme in which a sinewave is synthesized by the voltage sources, with rapid electronic switching of the sources at specific time intervals. Two inverter designs, one with the SDK-85 (a 1980 machine) and the other with the MC68HC11 microcomputer, are described. The two designs are not comparable because of the five-year difference in technology. It is argued that the redesign of the inverter with the MC68HC11 demonstrates the impact of improving technology on microprocessor-based applications; the newer microcomputer allows a significant reduction in the number of components, allows higher interactive operation, and, by using HCMOS technology, reduces the power consumption.
