AUSTIN, USA: With global demand on the rise for greener appliances and industrial equipment, manufacturers are seeking ways to enhance energy efficiency while reducing system cost. To address these needs, Freescale has introduced a family of digital signal controllers (DSCs) designed to provide energy-efficient motor control at very competitive price points.

The new MC56F8006 family is one of the most energy-efficient DSC portfolios available in the embedded market. It is also one of the most cost-effective DSC offerings, helping reduce development expenses and power consumption for a wide range of motor control and motor drive applications, including appliances.

The advanced motor control and power conversion capabilities offered by these DSCs can significantly improve the efficiency, reliability and energy savings of appliances. For example, a washing machine motor digitally controlled by a DSC can enable more efficient agitation cycles that use less water and shorter spin cycles to reduce drying time and energy consumption.

Freescale's MC56F8006 DSCs combine the functionality of a microcontroller (MCU) and the processing power of a digital signal processor (DSP) with a flexible set of peripherals to create an extremely cost-effective, powerful and versatile embedded control solution.

The MC56F8006 family’s combination of price, performance, peripherals and energy efficiency makes it ideal for power- and cost-sensitive motor control applications, such as three-phase BLDC motors, variable frequency drives, permanent magnet synchronous motors and handheld tool motors.
