SUMMARY

The discussion centers on designing a controller circuit for a switched reluctance motor (SRM) using an asymmetric half-bridge topology. The motor specifications include a current rating of 50A and a voltage of 50V. Participants clarify the need for a controller, distinguishing between embedded and analog options. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate integrated circuit (IC) or topology for effective motor control.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of switched reluctance motor (SRM) operation
  • Familiarity with asymmetric half-bridge topology
  • Knowledge of motor current and voltage specifications
  • Experience with embedded systems and analog controllers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific integrated circuits (ICs) for switched reluctance motor control
  • Explore design considerations for asymmetric half-bridge circuits
  • Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of embedded versus analog controllers
  • Review datasheets for switched reluctance motors to understand performance metrics
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and designers working on motor control systems, particularly those focused on switched reluctance motors and their control strategies.

Hi. I have to design a controller circuit for switched reluctance motor. The topology to be used is asymmetric half-bridge. The motor current is 50A at 50V. I need help in the selection of controller. I have both options either to use embedded or totally analog controller.

Can you post a datasheet link for the motor?

Selecting a controller to buy sounds like the opposite of designing a controller.
 
Is this a homework assignment? If so, we can move it to the homework forum.

He must mean a controller controller, i.e. an IC or a topology. That's the only sense I can make of embedded vs. analog in this context.
