Foreword With brushless electric motors quickly replacing both small combustion engines and legacy motor technologies, advanced motor-control integration and efficiency are key to delivering innovative solutions. At Qorvo, we understand the challenges of balancing performance, size, and cost in BLDC and PMSM motor control applications. That's why we have developed a portfolio of intelligent, highly integrated solutions that streamline your design process without compromising flexibility or functionality. With our power application controller (PAC) devices, a single chip can replace up to eight discrete motor control functional blocks, significantly reducing bill of materials (BOM) cost and overall solution size. Our packaging, as small as 6mm x 6mm, maximizes space while maintaining safe and reliable performance. Integrated ARM ® Cortex ® MCUs provide flexibility to implement proprietary algorithms and real-time responsiveness with a configurable analog front end for precise signal sampling and sensor monitoring. Qorvo's motor control solutions support both field-oriented control (FOC) and 6-step trapezoidal systems in sensored or sensorless schemes, offering power managers a wide voltage range from 44V DC to 600V AC. Our ecosystem includes best-in-class hardware, firmware, and design tools, enabling you to accelerate development and speed time to market. We invite you to explore how Qorvo's expertise in motor control can help drive your next- generation designs with greater efficiency, reliability, and intelligence.
