Medium voltage motor drivers targeting 5V to 36V battery applications

Stocked by Digi-Key, these devices are for system designers who want more efficient motor operation with variable speed and sensorless control, NXP offers H-bridge, brushed and brushless DC motor drivers required to complete system design. Motor types that most effectively meet the requirements for high efficiency include AC induction motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors, brushless DC motors, and switched reluctance motors. However, brushed DC motors are still used extensively and benefit from more efficient drive circuitry. Supporting a broad portfolio of microcontrollers for motion control, their analog and mixed signal portfolio addresses applications for continuous operation in harsh environments/applications where high reliability is desired. The analog and mixed signal portfolio for these applications includes low voltage products designed for both commercial and industrial battery applications and medium voltage and gate drivers for automotive and industrial applications. These designs use the company’s SMARTMOS technology.
