Requirements:

• Can take 6S voltage

• Can handle 50 A continuous

• Create block diagram

  • Show the high-level process of how the motor controller works from receiving a battery voltage to controlling the phases of the motor

• Create table for engineering decisions and tradeoffs for the following components:

  • MCU

    • We ordered an MCU that was to be used for the 4S ESC that was being designed, can potentially use this chip: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/STM32L412KBT6/9656219

  • Gate driver IC

    • Does it have field-oriented control?

    • Does it have built in current sense? That would be extremely useful so that we don’t have to waste board space using a current sense amplifier and shunt

  • Power MOSFETs

  • Buck converter for MCU

  • Battery input connection type

  • PWM connection type

  • Programming pins connection type
