How has Microchip positioned its product line to serve mechatronics applications?
Our products are used in a wide variety of applications, so we’ve had to significantly expand our design assistance. 1396927554 This includes reference designs covering everything from intelligent power supplies to motor drive and sensor interface. We’ve created specialized groups that concentrate on specific markets and also provide information on EMI/RFI/ESD testing, advice on PWB layout and code for specific controls/interfaces. How do key Microchip products help solve mechatronics’ challenges? One example of Microchip’s efforts to integrate microcontrollers into mechatronic applications exists in the expansion of our Pulse Width Modulation (CCP) peripheral to include both a variety of different half and full H-bridge drive options, as well as the new analog voltage comparator auto-shutdown feature. These features significantly simplify the design of motor and actuator drives by eliminating the need for complex external drive circuits. The logic for direction, speed and over-current
