MOTIX™ | Automotive motor control 12V
Comprehensive motor control offerings by MOTIX™ including toolchain enable cost and energy-effective motor control for automotive applications.
Whatever you touch in a car, there is an electric motor close by. Brushed DC motors are easy to control and often serve as actuators with an overall short operating time. Torque control down to zero speed is easy to achieve.
Brushless DC (BLDC) motors have less wear but need a complex control algorithm and, therefore, higher computing power than a DC motor drive. BLDC motors are most suitable for applications demanding long-term continuous duty like fuel pumps.
Discover the most complete range of MOTIX™ low-voltage motor control solutions from Infineon for numerous automotive applications.
