Sensorless Motor Drive with the ST62 MCU + TRIACT
CASTAGNETINTRODUCTIONHome appliance applications are requiring more and more electronic control in order to meetnew requests and constraints of consumers
Microcontrollers have been typically limited to high end applications because theirperformance appears to be overrated when related to the functions of the application
Inreality, home appliances require microcontrollers which trade closely between the compromisebetween cost and performance
universal motor is a cost optimized solution for home appliance applications includingfood processor and drill applications
This Application Note shows that the capabilities of simple 8-bit microcontroller allows thedesign of cost effective speed drive controller with increased functionality
