1 Introduction The brushless direct current (BLDC) motor is becoming very popular because of striking features such as EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) problems, less maintenance, superior efficiency, and flux density [1–4]. BLDC motors are not only limited to the domestic applications, but also suitable for Aero-modeling and industrial applications such as motion control, actuation systems, positioning systems, High voltage AC (HVAC), ventilation, and medical and transportation systems [1–4]. According to load requirement, many converters are employed to step-down or step-up the voltage level [5–7]. In few applications, buck–boost converter provides a solution to increase or decrease the voltage where load voltage requirement is in the range of supply voltage. Single inductor, capacitor, diode, and power switch are required to design a traditional buck–boost converter [1]. However, high ripples are experienced in input current of converter. Highly capacitive or LC filter necessitates for suppress the cause of ripple but makes the buck–boost converter expensive. Brushless DC motor drive using buck–boost converter is proposed to control the speed and block diagram as shown in Fig. 1 [1]. At AC mains inherent PFC is achieved by operating buck–boost converter in discontinuous mode. Figure 2 depicts circuit diagram of brushless DC motor drive using buck–boost converter.

An inverting output voltage is obtained through buck–boost converter and fed to the inverter for motor control application. The control unit is employed to control and maintain the switching signal of the system. It senses the speed change of BLDC motor. Inverter input side DC link voltage is managed using converter to control the speed of BLDC motor. DC link
