The invention discloses a method for controlling arc welding inversion on the basis of a DSP chip, wherein a system comprises a rectification inversion filtering functional module, an IGBT grid driving module, a DSP central processing module, an input and output module, a sense amplification module and an overload signal detecting module. The method comprises: closing a total interruption and a watchdog, setting a register, initializing a digital analog conversion unit in the DSP central processing module, setting a whole comparison register and a dead area control register, allocating an I/O pin, setting a timer, allowing underflow, cyclic interrupt and underflow interrupt, setting an EVAIMRA and an IMR, allowing INT1 and INT2 interrupts, eliminating interrupt identification, opening a total interrupt, and entering a circulating waiting status. The invention applies the DSP technique in controlling an arc welding inverter system, more stable, precise and flexible performances can be provided, the control is flexible and intelligentized, the hardware design is simple, the software design is flexible and diversified, demanded peripheral circuits are few, and the method has wide application prospect.
