Real-Time MCUs Power Industrial Motor-Drive Apps (Download)
Motors are proliferating in industrial environments, driving the demand for precise, compact motor-control designs. Real-time microcontroller units (MCUs) with hardware accelerators tailored for low-latency control-loop applications are enabling motor drives with high performance yet low cost per axis. Coupled with sensors and power-switching devices, including wide-bandgap versions, the MCUs are boosting the performance of factory-automation and related applications.
