Cost effective DSP-based brushless motor control
The first in a series of DSP-based motor controllers for brushless motors made its UK debut at the Power Electronics Exhibition.
Featuring a 10bit 8 channel ADC, 8bit, 2 channel DAC and on-chip timer counters to drive 3 phase PWM outputs with dead time generation, the M16C62A provides the user with the capability of setting the device to defined PWM dead time when generating the necessary outputs for the motor1s 3 phases.
Users will appreciate this facility considering that a short dead time can cause a motor power stage to be destroyed, and a long dead time can cause the motor to stall under load.
The M16C62A has controllable dead time from 30ms down to 1ms.
In situations where higher performance is required, the M16C/80 version offers 15MIPS of processing power at 20MHz.
