Introduction
The modern transition from internal combustion
engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs)
represents one of the most significant shifts
in the automotive industry's history. This shift
is driven by the increasingly apparent effects
of climate change and the global demand for
a decrease in carbon emissions for a more
sustainable transportation sector.
While EVs are already gaining widespread
adoption by consumers, design engineers still
face major technological challenges. Particularly,
the switch to electric motors has placed major
importance on motor control technologies.
In the context of EVs, motor control can be
defined as the process of regulating the electric
motor's speed, torque, and direction to optimize
performance, enhance energy efficiency, and
ensure smooth operation across different driving
conditions. Motor control impacts everything
from EV efficiency and range to functional safety
and thermal management.
Achieving optimal motor control requires
a combination of high-performance
semiconductor devices and sophisticated control
algorithms. Aware of this growing need, NXP
Semiconductors is leveraging its expertise to
build out a portfolio of motor control products
and solutions for EV designers.
In this eBook, we will discuss the role of motor
control systems in modern EVs, the impact of
motor control on various vehicle aspects, and how
NXP Semiconductors helps its customers design
advanced motor control systems that ensure
efficiency and safety.
