Late last year, we drove BMW’s new iX3. It’s the first of a series of electric BMWs to use a newly developed platform, known ...

Abstract: Electrical angle delay resulting from inverter part and design errors causes rotor position errors. It significantly lowers motor control performance as the ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

Steve Tateosian, senior vice president for Infineon’s IoT, Compute & Wireless Business Unit, talks about how tighter control loops and higher switching frequencies in MCUs are enabling these new ...

Designing robots requires precision and flexibility. When creating a humanoid robot system, there are mechanical and electrical considerations that you need to understand before beginning the actual ...

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

This document describes the setup requirements for running the Sensorless FOC with maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) and field weakening algorithms where a Sliding Mode Observer (SMO) is used as the ...
