Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM)

Overview

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are typically used for high-performance and high-efficiency motor drives. High-performance motor control is characterized by smooth and accurate rotation over the entire speed range of the motor. NXP provides a comprehensive development ecosystem to support a rapid design of motor control devices that integrates PMSM.
