Hi NXP team,
I am currently evaluating hardware solutions for a 64 kW BLDC motor control system in a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aerospace application. The project demands high safety assurance and performance, targeting DO-178C DAL-B or higher compliance.
We are seeking a motor control IC or microcontroller solution with the following characteristics:
- Suitable for safety-critical motor control, including DAL-B system architecture
- Capable of Field-Oriented Control (FOC) for high-power BLDC/PMSM motors
- Support for PWM-ADC synchronization, encoder/sensor less feedback, and high-frequency switching
- Proven or qualified RTOS/toolchain support for avionics or DO-178C environments
- Available reference designs, libraries, or model-based development support (e.g., Simulink auto-code generation)
It would be greatly helpful if you could recommend:
- Suitable ICs or families for this application
- Motor control development kits or demo boards
- Functional safety certification status or available packages
- Toolchain or ecosystem support for aerospace-grade development
- supporting Green Hill compiler
This information will help us align our development with safety and performance goals for our VTOL propulsion system.
Looking forward to your expert recommendation.
Thanks & regards,
Aravind R
