Abstract
In this paper, a configurable single chip firing circuit for three phase motor speed control based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware architecture is presented. The proposed circuit is designed, implemented and tested using MAX II PLD chip (EPM1270F256C5 device). The system has the advantages of being simple, flexible and low development cost with built-in self test. The experimental results carried out using Altera development kit showed that the proposed scheme works properly.
