Mouser Electronics, Inc. has announced a new eBook, in collaboration with Qorvo, featuring industry experts who provide key insights into methods, power efficiency, and integration solutions available for motor control applications. As solutions in mobility, automation, and robotics have exploded in the past decade, motor-based systems have become a main focus for system designers.
In '10 Experts Discuss the Fundamentals of Motor Control', engineers from Qorvo and other industry leaders provide their perspectives on how it is helping meet the design challenges of the rapidly evolving motor control environment. Among the topics are the latest developments in vector (FOC), trapezoidal, sensor, and sensorless control solutions, as well as BLDC and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). The eBook also incorporates convenient links to select motor control products Qorvo offers to aid diverse high-growth segments of large global markets, including automotive, consumer, and industrial.
Qorvo ACT72350 motor drivers are optimised for driving medium voltage tri-phase BLDC/PMSM motors. These 160V drivers are interfaced through the tri-phase inverter PWM control input signals via SPI and are fully equipped with the company's proprietary, highly configurable Power Manager. The Configurable Power Manager (CPM) provides an "all-in-one" efficient power management solution for multiple types of power sources. The Application-Specific Drivers (ASPD) are 180V designed for H-bridge, three-phase, and general-purpose driving.
The PAC55710 72V BLDC motor controller and driver is a full-featured, highly optimised SoC that expands Qorvo's portfolio of Power Application Controller (PAC) products. The device controls and powers next-generation smart energy appliances, devices, and equipment, featuring integrated safety features such as VDS sensing, Cycle-by-Cycle (CBC) current limiting, enhanced Sample and Hold (S&H) for precise estimation, and a Windowed Watchdog Timer for software safety compliance.
The PAC5527 48V charge pump motor controller and driver is optimised for high-speed motor control and driving for small form-factor battery-powered BLDC motors. The device integrates a 150MHz Arm Cortex-M4F 32-bit MCU core with a highly configurable Multimode Power Manager, its proprietary and patent-pending Configurable Analog Front-End and Application Specific Power Drivers.
Finally, Qorvo's PAC52723EVK1 evaluation kit is a comprehensive hardware solution that allows designers to evaluate and develop power applications for the PAC52723, a powerful and versatile Arm Cortex-M0-based microcontroller. The PAC52723 MCU supplies up to 32kB of embedded FLASH and 8kB of SRAM memory, a high-speed 10-bit 1µs ADC with dual auto-sampling sequencers, 5V/3.3V I/Os, flexible clock sources, timers, a versatile 14-channel PWM engine, and several serial interfaces.
