Abstract :
Modern frequency converters use ASIC circuits to handle fastest operations and microprocessors for slower operations. By using FPGA circuit it is possible to implement a powerful microcontroller inside the FPGA circuit and replace the combination of ASIC and microprocessor with a single chip solution. The FPGA implementation allows more flexible modification of used algorithms and control methods
