Optimized Design Methodology for an Integration of Electrical Control Systems

VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they were based on two concepts: modular design and algorithm architecture "adequation". An example of DTC control implemented in an ASIC circuit is presented and the results of the integration performances validate our methodology.
