AVR® 8-Bit RISC - Applications - AC Motor Control

Back to Motor Control AVR Solutions

Traditional AC motors run directly from AC voltage at one speed only.

Introducing motor control enable variable speed. This can reduce power consumption, acoustic noise and mechanical vibrations.

Typical applications with AC motor control are:
- Appliances
- HVAC
- Industrial drives
- Automotive control

Target AVR device: AT90PWM3

ATAVRMC200: is an evaluation kit dedicated to asynchronous AC motor control, using various sensors for regulation. The kit includes an evaluation board and a demonstration firmware. Supporting 110-230V motors, the kit also allows evaluation of BLDC motors using the AT90PWM3 AVR microcontroller.
