Abstract :
This paper presents an improvement of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) based scalable inverter drive to control electrical machines. In order to enhance the average utilization of the resources (logic cells and dedicated hardware) of the FPGA, an application-specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) is designed and implemented on the FPGA. To promote better organization of the source code, it is possible to write instructions in a MATLAB based syntax, which are translated into the instruction set for the ASIP.
