Motor Control using Microchip
Topics
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-voltage and high-voltage systems, including dual motor control options.
PIC® microcontrollers and dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSC) contain innovative motor control Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) peripherals, including complimentary waveforms and a dedicated time base. For applications that require variable speed with constant torque and field-oriented control, the high-performance dsPIC DSC core includes Digital Signal Processor (DSP) instructions for more precise control.
The single-chip motor control and motor drive solutions enable simpler designs and decrease board space. These are often used as companion chips with PIC microcontrollers for stepper motors.
