Today we are pleased to introduce our partner Fortior Technology - a global leader in motor control and drive technology, specializing in the development of high-performance motor control chips, drive architectures, motor design and motor control algorithms.
With more than 100 million motor controller units sold in 2023, Fortior achieved a remarkable performance. This success can be attributed in part to Fortior's continuous innovation mindset, as well as values such as simplicity, openness to a diverse world and willingness to be a pioneer by going the extra mile for the customer.
Fortior Technology's motor controller sets new standards with an impressive cycle time of 5.6µs for FOC calculations. The hardware-based implementation opens up new possibilities, such as:
- Sensorless field-oriented control for BLDC / PMSM motors with integrated flux estimator
- Zero speed capability with high torque through high frequency injection (HFI)
- Supports a carrier frequency of up to 60kHz and enables maximum speeds of up to 300k rpm.
- Exceptionally fast motor acceleration paired with active noise suppression
