ARTICLE SERIES

How To Control Brushless Motors

In this new Electronic Design series, PMD breaks down the fundamentals of BLDC motor control and the techniques used to optimize performance. The articles build from foundational concepts to the hardware and control strategies used in real-world systems: 

• BLDC Motor Control Fundamentals (Part 1)
• Position Control Loops (Part 2)
• Commutation (Part 3)
• Current Control (Part 4)
• Choosing A Motor Control IC (Part 5)

Follow the full series to see how each layer of BLDC control contributes to more precise, efficient, and stable motor performance.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT

MC7x112 Torque Control ICs

Juno MC71112 & MC73112 Torque Control ICs provide advanced torque control for Brushless DC and DC Brush motors. Available as a single one-axis IC in two different package options, they provide ultra-efficient FOC control and are ideal for a wide range of pump, spindle, force, and end effector control applications.

CASE STUDY

Bringing Medical Robots to Clinical Readiness

Simplexity partnered with PMD to develop wearable assistive medical robots requiring precise velocity and torque control. Using the Juno MC73113 IC, they delivered smooth FOC-based control for human interaction while reducing system size, improving motion quality, lowering noise, and accelerating development.
