dsPIC33 DSCs for Motor Control Applications
Our dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) combine the performance of a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) engine and the versatile peripherals of a microcontroller (MCU). This combination enables you to implement advanced motor control solutions. The dsPIC33 motor control DSCs offer specialized peripherals to meet the needs of a variety of high-performance motor control applications. For example, our sensorless Field-Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm makes use of a single-cycle MAC with data saturation, zero overhead looping and barrel shifting for exceptional performance and precision speed, position and torque control.
Discover how dsPIC DSCs with our ecosystem of development tools, software and other design resources make it easy to develop your next Brushed DC (BDC) motor, Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, stepper motor, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) or AC Induction Motor (ACIM) application.
