Controlling brushless dc motors in diverse applications
Brushless DC motors are well suited to meet the efficiency and performance requirements of today's household products and other motor applications. For sensorless control, on-chip arithmetic accelerators
enable fine-tuned performance without the expense of
an external DSP.
Motor control in air conditioners with dual sensor less FOC and active PFC
Improved energy efficiency and reduced system costs are the driving factors in modern motor control designs. Sophisticated motor control concepts with sensor less Field Oriented Control (FOC) and Power Factor Correction (PFC) help to fulfill these demands. The article shows how these concepts can be used in an air conditioner design for vehicles.
Managing Complex SoC verification using plan based verification techniques
Meeting the quality requirements of a complex SoC requires managing large verification projects. In this article, Freescale and STMicroelectronics recount a recent experience with a verification management solution (Incisive Enterprise Manager) from Cadence, for the verification of a 32-bit microcontroller project for the automotive industry.
Training engineers: Designing embedded control systems for auto apps
A new undergraduate course at the University of Michigan focuses on designing embedded control systems for automotive applications like adaptive cruise control.
