A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured
by the customer or designer after manufacturing—hence "field-programmable". The FPGA
configuration is generally specified using a hardware description language (HDL), similar to
that used for an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) circuit diagrams were
previously used to specify the configuration, as they were for ASICs, but this is increasingly
rare). FPGAs can be used to implement any logical function that an ASIC could perform. The
ability to update the functionality after shipping, partial re-configuration of the portion of the
design and the low non-recurring engineering costs relative to an ASIC design
(notwithstanding the generally higher unit cost), offer advantages for many applications.
FPGAs contain programmable logic components called "logic blocks", and a hierarchy of
reconfigurable interconnects that allow the blocks to be "wired together"—somewhat like
many (changeable) logic gates that can be inter-wired in (many) different configurations.
Logic blocks can be configured to perform complex combinational functions, or merely
simple logic gates like AND and XOR. In most FPGAs, the logic blocks also include memory
elements, which may be simple flip-flops or more complete blocks of memory.
In addition to digital functions, some FPGAs have analog features. The most common analog
feature is programmable slew rate and drive strength on each output pin, allowing the
engineer to set slow rates on lightly loaded pins that would otherwise ring unacceptably, and
to set stronger, faster rates on heavily loaded pins on high-speed channels that would
otherwise run too slow. Another relatively common analog feature is differential comparators
on input pins designed to be connected to differential signaling channels.
A field-programmable gate array (FPGA)
• The FPGA industry sprouted from programmable read-only
memory (PROM) and programmable logic devices (PLDs).
PROMs and PLDs both had the option of being programmed
in batches in a factory or in the field (field programmable),
however programmable logic was hard-wired between logic
gates.
• A recent trend has been to take the coarse-grained architectural
approach a step further by combining the logic blocks and
interconnects of traditional FPGAs with embedded
microprocessors and related peripherals to form a complete
"system on a programmable chip“.

Some Applications of Power Electronics :
Typically used in systems requiring efficient control and conversion of
electric energy:
Domestic and Commercial Applications
Industrial Applications
Telecommunications
Transportation
Generation, Transmission and Distribution of electrical energy
Power rating of < 1 W (portable equipment)
Tens or hundreds Watts (Power supplies for computers /office equipment)
kW to MW : drives
Hundreds of MW in DC transmission system (HVDC)
Modern Electrical Drive Systems
•
About 50% of electrical energy used for drives
•
Can be either used for fixed speed or variable speed
•
•
75% - constant speed, 25% variable speed (expanding)
Variable speed drives typically used PEC to supply the motors

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
 The Permanent Magnet Synchronous motor is a rotating electric machine
where the stator is a classic three phase stator like that of an induction
motor and the rotor has permanent magnets. In this respect, the PM
Synchronous motor is equivalent to an induction motor, except the rotor
magnetic field in case of PMSM is produced by permanent magnets. The
use of a permanent magnet to generate a substantial air gap magnetic flux
makes it possible to design highly efficient PM motors. Medium
construction complexity, multiple fields, delicate magnets
• High reliability (no brush wear), even at very high achievable speeds
• High efficiency
• Low EMI
• Driven by multi-phase Inverter controllers
• Sensorless speed control possible
• Higher total system cost than for DC motors
• Smooth rotation - without torque ripple
• Appropriate for position control
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
Switched Reluctance (SR) Motor
 Switched reluctance (SR) motor is a brushless AC motor. It has simple
mechanical construction and does not require permanent magnet for its
operation. The stator and rotor in a SR motor have salient poles. The
number of poles presence on the stator depends on the number of phases
the motor is designed to operate in. Normally, two stator poles at opposite
ends are configured to form one phase. In this configuration, a 3-phase SR
motor has 6 stator poles. The number of rotor poles are chosen to be
different to the number of stator poles. A 3-phase SR motor with 6 stator
poles and 4 rotor poles is also known as a 6/4 3-Phase SR motor.
 SR motor has the phase winding on its stator only. Concentrated windings
are used. The windings are inserted onto the stator poles and connected in
series to form one phase of the motor. In a 3-Phase SR motor, there are 3
pairs of concentrated windings and each pair of the winding is connected in
series to form each phase respectively.
Future Electric Motors Build will be SR Motors
• The small-size SR motor was developed by Akira Chiba, professor at the
Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Science & Technology,
Tokyo University of Science.
• The prototyped SR motor has the same size as the 50kW synchronous
motor equipped in the second-generation Toyota Prius. Currently all
produced Electric cars are equipped with a synchronous motor whose
rotor is embedded with a permanent magnet.
• But as the permanent magnets are getting more and more pricey (the price
has doubled or tripled) because of higher demand, the future of SR
Motors is now imminent.
• A four-phase 8/6 switched-reluctance motor is shown in cross section. In
order to produce continuous shaft rotation, each of the four stator phases is
energized and then de-energized in succession at specific positions of the
rotor as illustrated.
Future electric motors build will be SR Motors.
Brushless DC Motor
• A BLDC motor has permanent magnets which rotate, and a fixed armature,
eliminating the problems of connecting current to the moving armature. An
electronic controller replaces the brush commutator assembly of the
brushed DC motor, which continually switches the phase to the windings to
keep the motor turning. The controller performs similar timed power
distribution by using a solid-state circuit rather than the brush commutator
system.
• BLDC motors offer several advantages over brushed DC motors, including
more torque per weight, more torque per watt (increased efficiency),
increased reliability, reduced noise, longer lifetime (no brush and
commutator erosion), elimination of ionizing sparks from the commutator,
and overall reduction of electromagnetic interference (EMI). With no
windings on the rotor, they are not subjected to centrifugal forces, and
because the windings are supported by the housing, they can be cooled by
conduction, requiring no airflow inside the motor for cooling. This in turn
means that the motor's internals can be entirely enclosed and protected
from dirt or other foreign matter.

Modern Electrical Drive Systems
Overview of AC and DC drives
DC drives: Electrical drives that use DC motors as the prime mover
Regular maintenance, heavy, expensive, speed limit
Easy control, decouple control of torque and flux
AC drives: Electrical drives that use AC motors as the prime mover
Less maintenance, light, less expensive, high speed
Coupling between torque and flux – variable spatial angle
between rotor and stator flux
Modern Electrical Drive Systems
Overview of AC and DC drives
Before semiconductor devices were introduced (<1950)
• AC motors for fixed speed applications
• DC motors for variable speed applications
After semiconductor devices were introduced (1960s)
• Variable frequency sources available – AC motors in variable speed
applications
• Coupling between flux and torque control
• Application limited to medium performance applications – fans,
blowers, compressors – scalar control
• High performance applications dominated by DC motors – tractions,
elevators, servos, etc
Modern Electrical Drive Systems
Overview of AC and DC drives
After vector control drives were introduced (1980s)
• AC motors used in high performance applications – elevators,
tractions, servos
• AC motors favorable than DC motors – however control is
complex hence expensive
• Cost of microprocessor/semiconductors decreasing –predicted
30 years ago AC motors would take over DC motors
