Motor Control and Drive
Shorten your development cycle using free motor control software with application notes and tuning guides. Scalable motor control development tools promote rapid prototyping for low and high voltage systems including dual motor control options.
PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC controllers contain innovative motor control PWM peripherals including complimentary waveforms and dedicated time-base. For applications that require variable speed with constant torque and field oriented control for greater efficiency, the high performance dsPIC core includes DSP instructions for more precise control.
The single-chip motor control and motor drive solutions enable simpler designs and decrease board space and are often used as companion chips with PIC microcontrollers for stepper motors.
