“…Due to the advantages of fast and parallel computation ability, programmable hard-wired feature, low power consumption, shorter design cycle, embedding processor, and higher density, FPGA is better than DSP and becomes the most popular IC in the implementation of the complex computation of the digital estimator or controller system. 18,19 Therefore, in this article, based on the FPGA technology, a realization of a hybrid sensorless controller using I-f startup and EKF is applied in PMSM drive, and it is shown in Figure 1. The FOC, EKF, PI speed controller, SVPWM, and coordinate transformations described by VHDL code are implemented in digital hardware of FPGA.…”
