The final addition is a voltage divider of $15k\Omega$ and $10k\Omega$ on the output, this simply lowers the output voltage to a level that can be read using the ADC on the MCU and is used for control loop feedback.

\subsection{Control}
|
||||
The system is controlled by the STM32F407 on the HU development board. The board provides the required PWN signals to control the MOSFETs and the ADC to read the output voltage. The program provides a small interface in which the user can view and control the duty cycle and frequency of the switching and read the current output voltage. The program also implements a simple PI control loop to control the output voltage, however it is not yet fully functional and requires more tuning.
