Algorithm integration for electrical machine drives in vehicle power train applications

The paper deals with the integration of control algorithm for asynchronous motors using co-design methodology for mixed hardware/software implementation. The authors mainly focus on two points: the co-design flow and associated tools, full hardware integration with programmable FPGA device. They also present the interest in using the CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) algorithm as a mathematical processor. This study investigates firstly, the co-design methodology in order to optimize the integration of control algorithms using hardware, software or mixed resources secondly, the development of machine diagnosis routines.
