This paper discusses a hardware computation-based dedicated controller for air conditioner applications that enables sinusoidal sensor-less PM motor control for both compressor and fan, and digital PFC within a single monolithic silicon platform. Sensorless Field Oriented Control (FOC) is implemented using an embedded Motion Control Engine (MCE) so that computation power can be attained with two motor FOC controls and digital PFC combined.
