Performance Motion Devices Magellan® Motion Control ICs

Magellan Motion ICs are complete motion controllers requiring only an external bridge circuit or amplifier to be functional. These devices are driven by a host using either a parallel bus, SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), CANbus 2.0B, or RS232/485 serial. User-selectable profiling modes include S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing. PID servo loop compensation utilizes a 32-bit position error and includes velocity and acceleration feedforward. High-performance FOC (field oriented control) provides high accuracy, ultra-low noise motor operation.

All Magellan Motion Control ICs provide a flexible and powerful instruction set to initialize and control motion axes, monitor performance, and synchronize overall machine behavior. Working with Magellan ICs and Pro-Motion® development software makes it fast and easy to graph and analyze system performance, while C-Motion® language enables users to develop applications using C/C++.

Magellan Motion Control ICs are offered in three series:

• MC58000 Series: Positioning Motion Control ICs for Brushless DC, DC Brush and step motors in a 1 to 4-axis package
• MC55000 Series: Pulse and direction output positioning ICs for step motors in a 1 to 4-axis package
• MC58113 Series: Positioning motion control ICs with integrated current control for Brushless DC, DC Brush and step motors in a single axis package

The Magellan MC58000 and MC55000 Series are packaged in a two-IC 144/100-pin TQFP, while the MC58113 Series is a single-IC 100-pin TQFP. All devices operate at 3.3V.
