Field-oriented control as a motor control scheme is indispensable for EV powertrains because of noiseless and smooth motor operations.

Munich, Germany Infineon Technologies has introduced a family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) with field oriented control (FOC) capability and a new Digital Application virtual Engineer (DAvE) drive ...

Field-oriented control as a motor control scheme is indispensable for EV powertrains because of their noiseless and smooth motor operations.

New Milestones in Motion Control Prior motor-control drives with advanced algorithms, such as those for field-oriented control, contained costly digital-signal processors (DSPs).

The field-oriented control method has long offered designers a highly-desirable combination of performance features but was considered too expensive for cost-sensitive applications.

For anyone with interest in electric vehicles, especially drives and control systems for EV’s, the Endless-Sphere forum is the place to frequent. It’s full of some amazing projects covering ...
