Multiple quadrature encoder support: Mixed-signal FPGAs also offer another benefit for motor control – the capability of driving multiple motors (axles) simultaneously with single mixed-signal device.

This Design Idea combines a simple ISA-bus-resident interface circuit; a garden-variety PC; a high-resolution optical shaft encoder; and a PWM-controlled, 0.05-hp, brushed, permanent-magnet dc motor ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...
