Digital Signal Controllers: Electronic Control for Automotive Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) Motor Applications

Further, the electronic control that BLDC motors offer is critical to statutory vehicle requirements such as energy-saving, reduced environmental impact, and the creation of safer vehicles. BLDC motors are also useful for variable-speed applications where space is tight, such as fuel pump control and electronic power steering. In these types of applications, electronic control is essential due to the need for fault diagnostics and wide temperature and voltage operational range.
