Motor control and drives

The number of electrical motors is growing steadily. The application and environmental requirements have to be fulfilled with the available components and resources of the component supplier and the supporting ecosystem.

As a system supplier we:

• Focus our development activities around cost-efficient and energy-efficiency motor control solutions while addressing the highest safety standards
• Support a full ecosystem from online simulations, reference designs to evaluation boards, Arduino kit and of course also embedded software development with the reuse of software on different parts
• Addressing your design requirements —from discrete to fully integrated solutions being transparent on the benefit of each version

Since CO2 reduction has become a very high priority in the industrial, consumer and automotive fields mechanical motor drives are gradually replaced by smart, electrically controlled motors. Electric motors can be switched and speed-controlled on demand. Infineon provides such semiconductor solutions and steadily extends the portfolio of semiconductors needed for smart and modern Motor Control, such as MOSFETs, Bridge Drivers, Integrated Bridges.

The days of overrating a motor for an industrial application and absorbing the increased energy costs, simply to fulfill the desired application lifetime, are over. This whitepaper reviews some of the technologies now available that can bring higher efficiency to low-voltage and robotics.
