This paper focuses on the design of a low power and high performance FPGA based Digital Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (DSVPWM) controller for three phase voltage source inverter. A new method is proposed to realize easy, accurate and high performance DSVPWM technique based on FPGA with low resource consumption and reduced execution time than conventional methods. Equations of SVPWM are relatively complicated and need a considerable time to execute on a typical microcontroller, therefore a simple method is presented to minimize run time of instructions, e.g. the multiplication operation used in these equations is replaced by a proposed signed and unsigned shifter using 2 to 1 multiplexer unit. Total power consumption of controller is reduced to 37 mW at 100MHz clock frequency. The proposed DSVPWM technique algorithm was synthesized and implemented using Quartus II 9.1V and Cyclone II FPGA, to target device EP2C20F484C6. Also power is analyzed using XPower analyzer. Experimentation and results demonstrate that proposed method have high performance than other works.
