Disclosed are systems and methods for motor control using piecewise affine modelling. An electronic controller may determine current values for a motor in a rotational reference frame. Each current value may be associated with a dimension of a set of dimensions of the rotational reference frame. The electronic controller may further determine, based on the current values, a flux linkage value for each of the set of dimensions of the rotational reference frame using a piecewise affine map. The electronic controller may further determine a target flux linkage value for each of the set of dimensions of the rotational reference frame. The electronic controller may then control a power switching network coupled between a power supply and the motor based on the flux linkage values and the target flux linkage values.
