The MC73110 Motor Control IC
is a single-chip, single-axis device ideal for use in intelligent 3-phase brushless
motor amplifiers. It provides sophisticated programmable digital current control with direct analog input of
feedback signals. It can be operated in voltage, torque, or velocity modes and supports standalone operation for
use with PMD’s motion processors, other off-the-shelf servo controllers, or via a serial port.
Navigator/Pilot-family Motion Processors
provide programmable chip-based positioning control for brushed
servo, brushless servo, microstepping, and pulse and direction step motors. They are available in 1, 2 and 4-axis,
and in both single-chip and two-IC chipset configurations. These parts operate at 5V.
Magellan-family Motion Processors
are state-of-the-art programmable chip-based positioning controllers for
brushed servo, brushless servo, microstepping, and pulse and direction step motors. They are similar to the
Navigator Motion Processors but provide increased capabilities including faster loop rate, CANBus communica-
tions, software-selectable motor type, and direct SPI bus output for serial DACs. They are available in 1, 2, 3, and
4-axis, and in both single-chip and two-IC chipset configurations. These parts operate at 3.3V.
PMD’s PCI and PC/104-bus motion cards
are high performance general purpose motion cards for controlling
DC-brush, brushless DC, microstepping, and pulse & direction motors. Utilizing PMD’s Magellan Motion
Processors, these products are available in 1, 2, 3, and 4 axis configurations and have advanced features such as 16-
bit D/A analog output, and on-board high speed performance tracing.
