Dual Sensorless PMSM FOC
with PFC Reference Design
Target Applications
Overview
• Refrigeration systems
Advancements in motor control require new techniques for increased efficiency and
increased integration to reduce costs. This reference design provides a three-in-one
solution with advanced motor algorithms, running both a compressor motor and a
fan motor with power factor correction (PFC)—all in a single MCU.

with a properly designed motor, provides
improved efficiency and quieter operation than
traditional implementations.
Permanent Magnet Synchronous
Motors (PMSM)
PMSMs are desirable due to their higher
efficiency and better power density compared
to traditional motors. There is no excitation
needed because the motor magnetic flux is
generated by permanent magnets placed on
the rotor.
