TI InstaSPIN-FOC technology celebrates one year of unprecedented, sensorless motor control

DALLAS, USA: Texas Instruments (TI) celebrates the one-year birthday of the revolutionary TI InstaSPIN-FOC (field-oriented control) motor control technology, along with announcing some exciting new updates and a special birthday C2000 InstaSPIN-enabled tool offer.

The InstaSPIN-FOC breakthrough motor technology has enabled motor control system designers to identify, tune and fully control (through variable speeds and loads) any type of three-phase - synchronous or asynchronous motor - in just minutes.

It removes the need for a mechanical rotor sensor to reduce system costs and improve operation and reliability using TI's sensorless observer software algorithm, FAST (flux, angle, speed and torque), embedded in the read-only-memory (ROM) on select TI 32-bit C2000 Piccolo MCUs.
