Juno® MC71113 & MC73113 ICs provide advanced velocity control of DC Brush and Brushless DC motors. Available as a single one-axis IC, these products provide ultra efficient FOC control and are ideal for a wide range of medical, robotic, spindle and general motor control applications. Juno ICs interface to external bridge-type switching amplifiers and utilize Performance Motion Device’s advanced current and switch-signal technology for ultra smooth operation. In addition MC7X113 ICs are equipped with advanced amplifier management features such as overcurrent, over/undervoltage, and overtemperature sense.
