PMD's Motion Chip Advantage

Performance Motion Devices, offers IC's (chips) for industrial motion control solutions. Our motion processors provide high-performance motion control of servo microstepping motors while offering the flexibility of an IC-based building block. This chip based approach gives our customers the choice of varying levels of integration with a powerful, easy to use programming environment. Our motion control IC products save development time and help you get your products to market quicker. View our Motion Chip brochure to see the PMD Motion Chip advantage.

The Magellan® Family of Motion Control ICs provides high performance chip-based motion control for multiple motor types, including brushless and DC brush motor control. Magellan motion control ICs are available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis versions. These flexible and programmable devices control DC brush, brushless DC, step, and microstepping motors. They are designed for demanding applications such as medical automation, general automation, and scientific instrumentation.

Two versions of the Magellan are available. The multi-motor MC58000 motion control series controls all motor types (DC brush, brushless DC, step, and microstepping motors). The MC55000 series provides dedicated pulse & direction output for advanced motion control and motor speed control.
