Since last decades, the pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques have been an intensive research subject. Also, different kinds of methodologies have been presented on inverter switching losses, inverter output current/ voltage total harmonic distortion (THD), inverter maximum output of DC bus voltage. The Sinusoidal PWM is generally used to control the inverter output voltage and it helps to maintains drive performance. The recent years have seen digital modulation mechanisms based on theory of space vector i.e. Space vector PWM (SVPWM). The SVPWM mechanism offers the enhanced amplitude modulation indexes (MI) than sinusoidal PWM along with the reduction in the harmonics of inverter output voltage and reduced communication losses. Currently, the digital control mechanisms have got more attention than the analog counterparts, as the performance and reliability of microprocessors has increased. Most of the SVPWM mechanisms are performed by using the analog or digital circuits like microcontrollers and DSPs. From the recent study, analysis gives that use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) can offer more efficient and faster solutions. This paper discusses the numerous existing research aspects of FPGA realization for voltage source inverter (VSI) along with the future line of research.

INTRODUCTIONThe concepts of PWM are turning out to be increasingly prevalent in today's motor drives. In the inverters, PWM makes it conceivable to control both the frequency and magnitude of the current and voltage connected to a motor. Along these lines, PWM for motor drives offers better efficiency and higher performance contrasted with fixed frequency motor drives. PWM systems have been the subject of serious research amid the most recent couple of decades. The PWM techniques have been the intensive research subject. Also, different kinds of methodologies have been presented on inverter switching losses, inverter output current/ voltage THD, inverter maximum output voltage of DC bus voltage [1].The sinusoidal PWM is utilized to control the output current/voltage of the inverter and keeps up a better performance of the drive in the whole operational range between 0-78percent of the value that would be come to by square operation. In the event that the MIs surpass this value, straight relationship amongst MI and output voltage is not kept up, and the over modulation techniques are required. As of late, a characteristically advanced modulation system known as SVPWM which depends on space vector hypothesis [2]. It has been accounted for that SVPWM mechanisms offers better performance over different methods regarding torque ripple, better DC link utilization, lower THD, switching loss and easier digital system
