Circuits

Microcontrollers offer algorithm for complete motor control.

For motor control system designers, 32-bit C2000™ Piccolo™ MCUs feature FAST™ (flux, angle, speed, and torque) software encoder, or sensorless observer, algorithm embedded in ROM that removes need for mechanical motor rotor sensor and improves operation. InstaSPIN™-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution lets designers identify, tune, and fully control, through variable speeds and loads,...

Power Management Gate Drivers target IGBT and SiC FET designs.

As 35 V, single-channel output stage power management gate drivers, UCC27531 and UCC27532Â- prevent digital controllers from operating too close to power circuitry. UVLO settings and rail-to-rail output voltage provide system protection, while split-output configuration improves Miller turn-on immunity and preventsÂ- IGBT/MOSFET damage. Along with peak current of 2.5 A source and 5 A...
