Abstract :
In this article a three-phase BLDC motor controller for use in an Ultra-Light Electrical Vehicle is presented. The control is performed using a Programmable Logic Device (CPLD), which doesn´t require any additional processor. In this way a robust and low-complexity control is obtained. For extending the speed range of the BLDC, a phase advance circuit is implemented as well. The power consumption of the controller is very low which is an interesting feature in battery applications.
