CONCLUSION
Considering the consumer demand for increased effi-
ciency and growing desires for environmental stan-
dards, designers are always looking out for new
algorithms that can be used to develop low-cost, power
efficient motor control systems.
The dsPIC DSC device’s high processing power and
peripheral-rich platform enable the implementation of
complex algorithms on a single chip. The Sensorless
FOC process uses three control loops to compensate
the current and the speed. The PFC process uses two
control loops to compensate the input current and out-
put voltage. All of these compensators use a PI control-
ler to compensate for variations in these parameters,
which requires very high processing power and finer
control of the system. The dsPIC DSC devices are best
suited to handle the above requirements because of
the high resolution, good processing speed, availability
of advanced analog peripherals, and the variety of
instructions that support these functions.
Microchip has various resources to assist you in
developing this integrated system. Contact your local
Microchip sales office if you would like further support.
