Kit speeds motion system design

Staff -- Control Engineering, 12/1/2005

MC73110 brushless motor control IC developer's kit (DK73110) features high-efficiency MOSFET amplifiers. Integrated board and software package lets designers build a high-performance stand-alone motor controller, amplifier, or intelligent drive for use in brushless motor control applications. DK73110 kit is an integrated intelligent amplifier that incorporates velocity loop, current loop, commutation, high-performance half-bridge MOFSET switches, and integrated motor connections. PI (proportional integral) current control algorithm drives the power stage; high-level system monitoring and control functions optimize performance. DK73110 drives a 3-phase brushless motor at up to 10 A, inputs analog or digital command signals, and requires a single voltage high-power input. www.pmdcorp.com Performance Motion Devices Inc.
