Motor Control Solutions Go Beyond The Silicon

The brushless DC (BLDC) motor is also referred to as an electronically commutated motor. There are no brushes on the rotor and commutation is performed electronically at certain rotor positions. The stator magnetic circuit is usually made from magnetic steel sheets. One of the recently popular brushless motor control techniques is Field Oriented Control (FOC).

NXPs broad portfolio and extensive documentation allows you to ease the development effort for BLDC control applications.
