SVPWM Explained and Implemented on STM32 for BLDC Motor Control

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

In this video, I’ll walk you through a clear and practical explanation of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM)—a powerful technique used in Field-Oriented Control (FOC) for controlling BLDC and PMSM motors.
By the end of the video, you’ll understand why accurate rotor position feedback is crucial and how sensors like magnetic encoders, incremental encoders, or sensorless observers can be used for more advanced motor control.
