Visit Booth #926 to Learn About Renesas’
Cutting-Edge Motor Control Solutions for Drones, Mobile Devices,
and Industrial Applications
Renesas Electronics America Inc., a premier supplier of advanced
semiconductor solutions, today announced it will showcase several
of its analog and power technologies, including motor control
solutions, at the 2017 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference
and Exposition (APEC), March 26-30, taking place at the Tampa
Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.
The motor control solutions include an integrated motor drive
solution board for optimized motor efficiency and minimum heating,
as well as a micro-motor solution board that enables a small
brushless DC (BLDC) electric motor for optimal
low-rotation-per-minute (RPM), position-critical applications, and
high RPM performance.
In today’s competitive landscape, motor control applications
such as power tools, appliances, drones, and robotics must achieve
breakthrough levels of optimization and performance to meet and
adapt to changing application requirements. This creates a greater
need for highly efficient motor control solutions.
In booth #926 at APEC, Renesas will showcase and demonstrate
motor control solutions that address this need, accelerating the
performance of motor-driven power applications.
Exhibitor Presentation
Tad Keeley, Senior Manager for Analog and Power Product
Marketing, Renesas Electronics America, will highlight several new
integrated devices from Renesas, designed for controlling and
driving motors, in his presentation, “Simplifying Li-ion Battery
Powered BLDC Motor Driver Design”.
When: Tuesday, March 28, from 1:30 PM–2:00 PM
ETWhere: Room 25 (Tampa Convention Center)
Renesas Motor Control Demonstrations at APEC
Integrated Motor Drive Solution Board:
The Renesas Motor Drive Solution Board is a single
system-on-chip (SoC) that combines a microcontroller (MCU), analog
front end, and customized firmware to drive a motor with optimized
efficiency and minimum heating. This integrated motor drive
solution can control and drive motors with power levels to 1500
watts.
Micro-Motor Solution Board:
Small BLDC motors need very accurate position control over a
wide operating range to provide both high torque and very low RPM
functionality (like a stepper motor) as well as smooth, high-RPM
performance. The Renesas Micro-Motor Solution showcases the use of
an SoC that combines an MCU and a digital signal processor (DSP) to
enable a small BLDC to provide both optimal low-RPM,
position-critical applications where engineers have traditionally
used a stepper motor, and also provide the high RPM performance of
a BLDC.
