KV Series 3-Phase Brushless DC Motor Control Reference Design

BRUSHLESS-DC-MOTOR-CONTROL

Roll over image to zoom in

The 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor control reference design is based on V series MCUs and intended and provides an example for 3-phase sensorless BLDC motor control solutions. The reference design uses a six-step communication process, including closed-loop speed control and dynamic motor current limitation. The comprehensive analog integration provides a high-performance solution for BLDC motor control applications.
