Low Voltage: 50A Sensorless FOC Reference Design for PM or BLDC Motors

Description

The design is a 30V to 54 V Brushless DC motor (BLDC) or Permanent-magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) controller for low voltage: high current: high power ebike: power tool: fan: and pump applications. The design uses the Texas Instruments UCC27211D MOSFET drivers: CSD19506KCS 80V NexFET™ power MOSFETs: TMS320F28027F MCU with InstaSPIN™ technology: TPS54360 buck converter: and LDOs. The design utilizes InstaSPIN-FOC technology to identify and tune PMSM or BLDC motor parameters: as well as control motor speed via an external throttle. Overall: the design focuses on demonstrating highly efficient control of high power: low voltage BLDC or PMSM motors.
