Motor Control and Drive

Electric motors are everywhere, making our lives easier every day. They can be found in your washer, dryer, refrigerator, car, fan, pumps, air conditioner and a huge number of other products where they need to run as efficiently as possible to consume less energy. From the simplest to the most advanced implementation, each motor control application has a specific combination of requirements, including performance, reliability, efficiency and precision, as well as size, cost and time to market. If you are working on a project that includes a motor, discover how our extensive array of products and solutions can help you implement the right type of control for your application.

  • Flexible solutions for robust, high-efficiency and precision control of motors that can be customized to meet your requirements
  • Scalable product portfolio includes PIC®, AVR®, PIC32MK and SAM microcontrollers (MCUs), dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) and FPGAs with specialized peripherals for controlling different types of motors
  • motorBench® Development Suite for automated tuning of Field-Oriented Control (FOC) software and code generation to reduce your development time
  • As complementary devices to our controllers, our MOSFET gate drivers and single-chip motor control and motor drive solutions deliver a total system solution
  • A variety of resources to address functional safety compliance in your automotive, industrial and consumer applications
  • Support for rapid prototyping using MATLAB® or Scilab® simulation tools, generate motor control code directly from your simulation model

We also offer a variety of scalable development tools, including options for dual-motor control, for quick prototyping of low- and high-voltage systems. Our free motor control software, application notes and tuning guides will also speed up your development while reducing your risk. If you need assistance with your design, we provide technical support and a variety of training resources to guide you, or you can contact one of our authorized Design Partners to leverage their technical expertise.

Simplify Your Development with Motor Control Hardware and Software Solutions

Our scalable motor control development tools enable rapid prototyping for low- and high-voltage systems, including dual-motor control designs. Use our free motor control software, application notes and tuning guides to simplify and speed up your development cycle.

motorBench® Development Suite

The motorBench® Development Suite is a Graphical User Interface (GUI)-based software development tool for Field-Oriented Control (FOC), performing accurate measurement of critical motor parameters, automatic tuning of feedback control gains and generating source code for an MPLAB® X IDE project utilizing the Motor Control Application Framework (MCAF).

Motor Control Algorithms and Software Library

To support the development of motor applications, we provide motor control libraries and examples for Field-Oriented Control (FOC), windmilling, DC-link compensation, field weakening and many other control algorithms.

Motor Control Library

Hardware Development Tools

We offer a variety of development boards that provide an easy and economical way to evaluate your motor control applications.

Motor Control Simulation

If you are looking for a rapid prototyping solution for use with MATLAB or Scilab, our simulation package allows you to compile a Simulink® model that can be programmed into dsPIC DSCs, PIC32MK or SAM E70 Flash memory with a single push of a button. The motor control library blocksets, motor model and development boards provide a complete motor control development environment.
