ST launches intelligent motion control chip for smart industry and high-end home appliances
Published2016.11.14 08:12STM32 microcontroller-based development includes motor control algorithms along with tools and software
STMicroelectronics (ST) has launched a new intelligent motor control single package targeting smart industry, also known as smart manufacturing or Industry 4.0.
The newly launched STSPIN32F0 motor control SiP from ST combines the power and flexibility of microcontroller-driven solutions with ease of use and space efficiency. It targets emerging advanced technology products such as drones and small robots, as well as applications including high-efficiency motor-equipped home appliances like high-performance cordless vacuum cleaners and air purifiers, smart manufacturing equipment, power tools, and cooling fans.
Domenico Arrigo, Business Unit Director of ST's Industrial and Power Conversion Division, stated: "Developing Industry 4.0 and high-end home appliance systems requires high-level processing performance that supports autonomous operation while minimizing interference in central control functions, along with the flexibility to optimize motor control strategies. STSPIN32F0 is a convenient and space-efficient SiP product that meets these needs, and by utilizing ST's well-equipped STM32 ecosystem's power control libraries and algorithms, it can further simplify the development of feature-rich intelligent precision motion control applications."
The STSPIN32F0 combines a microcontroller and analog IC in a compact 7mm x 7mm QFN package, offering the advantages of single IC convenience, simplicity, and space efficiency, while providing flexibility and power when driving microcontroller-based motors. This solution will be equally attractive to developers who have been working with proprietary motor control IP or those seeking commercial motor control algorithms.
Compared to other microcontroller-based solutions, the STSPIN32F0 can significantly simplify design challenges by leveraging a rich STM32 development ecosystem that includes renowned motion control algorithms such as FOC (Field-Oriented Control) and 6-step control, software tools, firmware libraries, and middleware for simplified firmware development.
The STSPIN32F0 motor control SiP is currently in mass production in a 7mm x 7mm QFN package, with pricing starting at $1.95 per 1,000 units.
