Industrial Motor Control Solutions

With drives and motor/motion control systems in wide use across Industrial, Automotive, Medical, Avionics, and Defense segments, motors account for nearly 45% of the world's energy consumption. Examples of motor/motion control include factory and process automation, assembly/packaging, elevator control, robotics, EV/HEV powertrains, flight control systems, and more.

With increasing performance required to monitor and drive more efficient power electronics used in multi-axis motor control and high-RPM motor control applications, Microsemi offers a flexible motor control IP suite and reference design for our SmartFusion2 and IGLOO2 FPGAs. The performance of FPGA-based implementation is deterministic and bounded. The synchronous nature of these implementations add additional assurance that the timing is clock frequency-based and does not vary. Moreover, when Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is adopted for multi-axis controllers, there is fairness as each motor has the same time slot length, thus being deterministic. On the power electronics side, Microsemi offers quality-leading SiC diodes and MOSFET products.

Motor Control for Quadcopters

The Microsemi multi-axis motor Control Solution can be used to build high-performance drones used in Industrial, Military, Aerial vision etc. The solution offers maximum efficiency and increased drone flight time by employing Field Oriented Control (FOC) of BLDC motors on FPGA to generates sinusoidal currents. With a single FPGA for Multi-axis control and central flight control, the solution allows for stable gyros and improved mechanical reliability due to improved noise and vibration parameters.
