This presentation demonstrates how analog & digital co-simulation can accelerate the design and validation of a 3-phase BLDC motor drive. Traditional motor drive development workflows require multiple prototype iterations to evaluate device stress, verify feedback signal conditioning quality, and validate control algorithms, driving up cost and time-to-market. With an analog & digital co-simulation tool, engineers can model power stages to estimate power losses and validate trapezoidal or FOC control algorithms in C code before building hardware. The goal is to highlight how an analog & digital co-simulation tool shortens proof-of-concept cycles and provides guidance in component selection and control algorithm development for motor drive applications. Target audience: motor drive design engineers, researchers, students and other professionals in power electronics industry
