The aim of this thesis is to provide a wide view of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), from its basic principles to its applications, pointing the interest on the Field Oriented Control (FOC) scheme and proposing different digital control techniques. A Simulink model that takes into account the computing limitation of a real control device and of its hardware components, such as the 3-phase inverter, is designed and used in order to evaluate the dynamic response of the controllers developed. In order to have an example in terms of hardware parameters and limitations, it has been chosen to design the models taking as reference the TMDSHVMTRPFCKIT developer kit and the EMJ-04APB22 ESTUN Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) .
