DSP practical solutions for motor control using DSP-Controller

The performance of a DSP architecture allows an intelligent approach to reduce the complete system costs of digital motion control applications using cheaper electrical motors, fewer sensors, and smaller sizes of EMI filters. To provide also a cost optimal solution Texas Instruments developed a single chip solution combining the features of a Microcontroller and the performance advantages of a DSP core. This - so called “DSP-Controller” delivers the real-time MIPS and the tightly integrated peripherals to implement optimal control algorithms with no cost penalty. This paper deals with an overview of DSP solutions in digital motor control applications whereby the focus will be the DSP-Controller and its applications. For sensorless control strategies practical example of its implementation and its results were given.
