The Panasonic AVM38553 is a motion control processor IC, used to create motion control systems for industrial automation applications. It offers a single chip solution for open loop, closed loop and PID motion control, as well as for two-phase and three-phase motion control. It supports position and speed feedback from external devices such as encoders, linear potentiometers, and resolvers, and commands positional and speed references from either a PC or a PLC. It offers eight high-performance, high-speed PWM outputs, providing up to 50A peak current drive capability. The AVM38553 also has a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
