Magellan® MC58000/MC55000 Multi-Axis Motion Control ICs provide high performance motion control for medical, scientific, robotics, and automation applications. Available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis versions, Magellans provide position and velocity control for Brushless DC, step, and DC Brush motors. They are driven by a host using either a parallel bus, SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), CANbus 2.0B, or RS232/485 serial. These flexible and powerful ICs provide profile generation, servo-loop closure, commutation, and pulse and direction output along with direct quadrature encoder input. User selectable profiling modes include S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring and electronic gearing.


  • 1 to 4 axis positioning motion control IC for Brushless DC, DC Brush and step motors
  • S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing profiles
  • Serial RS232/485, Parallel, CANbus, and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) communications
  • Advanced PID filter with velocity and acceleration feedforward
  • Velocity, position and acceleration changes on-the-fly
  • High speed (up to 5 Mpulses/sec) pulse & direction output
  • Incremental encoder quadrature input (up to 25 Mcounts/sec)
  • Dedicated motion trace function for performance optimization
  • Two directional limit switches, index input, and home indicator per axis
  • Axis settled indicator, tracking window and automatic motion error detection
  • 3.3 V operation, packaged in 144- and 100-pin TQFP
