Description

The Juno Family of ICs provide advanced velocity and torque control for Brushless DC, DC Brush, and step motors. They are the industry’s first family of compact ICs with full four quadrant motion control, direct input quadrature encoder, profile generation, and advanced current control. Juno ICs are targeted for medical, scientific, industrial, and robotic applications that need to minimize motor noise, vibration and power consumption. Juno ICs are easy to deploy with embedded motion commands, on-board intelligence, and direct analog and digital amplifier signal interfacing.

Easy Integration

Juno ICs interface to external bridge-type switching amplifiers and utilize Performance Motion Device’s proprietary current and switch-signal technology for ultra smooth operation. Depending on the type of motor controlled, Juno ICs support commutation, microstep generation, pulse and direction input, internal profile generation, and much more.

Integrated Safety Features

Juno ICs are equipped with advanced amplifier management features such as overcurrent, over/undervoltage, and overtemperature sense. A special outer control loop allows a wide range of motor-related control applications, including pressure, flow rate and temperature control.
