Design and implementation of a DC motor control using Field Programmable Analog Arrays

This work presents an implementation of a control algorithm for DC motors using a technology that is gaining popularity, known as Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA). The mathematical model of the DC motor and control are scaled to adjust the permitted voltages for the FPAA. Simulations of the implementation of the control algorithm with analog circuits are carried out where the good performance of the closed loop system is verified. Real Time experimentation results also validate the proposed design and implementation of the control Algorithm.
