Motion Control ICs

Overview

PMD's motion control IC family comprises two lines — Magellan® (position control) and Juno® (velocity/torque control) — semiconductor solutions that precisely drive brushless DC, brush DC, and step motors. Position, velocity, and current (torque) control loops run entirely inside the IC without a separate processor, greatly simplifying the design of embedded motion control systems.

Key Features

• Position, velocity, and current (torque) control handled by a single IC
• Supports S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, electronic gearing, and other profiles
• Easy, preconfigured motion commands
• Field-oriented control (FOC) and digital current loop support
• 4-quadrant control support
• Multiple communication interfaces: RS232/485 serial, CANbus 2.0B, SPI, parallel (MC5x000 family)
• Onboard memory support (MC58113 family)
• Juno® supports direct analog or SPI command input, with NVRAM setting storage and built-in trace memory
• Industrial operating range of -40°C ~ 85°C (150°C junction temperature)
