Texas Instruments’ Motor Control Solutions

TI provides a broad range of analog products, digital controllers and software to precisely control the position, velocity and torque of mechanical drives. Motor control and drive solutions are available for small drives including solenoids, DC or brushless DC and steppers; and for larger drives such as AC-open loop and closed loop systems that utilize much higher voltages, typically hundreds of volts.
