Flash memory based motion control IC for advanced inverterized appliance and more

Aimed primarily at applications such as white goods, battery-operated drives and industrial systems, International Rectifier's IRMCF171 flash memory based motion control IC is now in stock at Mouser. The high-performance device is designed to achieve low-cost yet high-performance control solutions for advanced inverterized appliance motor control. It contains two computation engines integrated into one monolithic chip. One is the Flexible Motion Control Engine (MCETM) for sensorless control of permanent magnet or induction motors. The second is an 8-bit high-speed microcontroller (8051). The user can program a motion control algorithm by connecting control elements using a graphic compiler.
