About

Motor Control (C3M5/6) and Power Conversion (C3P5/6)

The Main line of PSOC™ Control C3 supports high performance motor drive and power implementation. 

PSOC™ Control C3M5/6 for motor control

C3M5 is ideal for dual-motor drive plus Power Factor Correction (PFC), Wide Band Gap (WBG) switches i.e. SiC or GaN for maximum system efficiency and power density.

C3M6 with additional number of analog and digital peripherals including OpAmps, 12-bit DAC, 2x Encoder/Hall/IF for sensored motors supports up to 4-motors.

PSOC™ Control C3P5/6 for power conversion

C3P5 integrates advanced real-time analog peripherals and digital feature set to support primary power conversion stages. 

C3P6 includes 3p3z filter accelerator and additional analog and digital peripherals to support secondary power conversion or complex topologies.

PSOC™ Control C3P6 for general purpose

C3P6 supports USB-FS as well as I3C such that is ideal for housekeeping. PSA-L3 and PQC are ideal for datacenters, PCIe, and others.
