Juno’s Low-Cost Velocity Motion Control ICsThe Juno MC71113, MC73113, and MC78113 ICs provide advanced velocity control of 3-phase brushless DC and DC brush motors with  features such as PI (proportional, integral) velocity loop control, programmable velocity estimation, dual biquad filtering, shunt regulation, deadband filtering, and FOC (Field Oriented Control).Many of these new features on these ICs stem from Juno’s algorithm-based control of motors versus the typical fixed dedicated circuitry. Juno ICs are part of a wave of products that add special CPU engines executing intelligent control algorithms to the existing fixed hardware control circuits presently found in most motor control ICs.
