AC inverter & VF drives

Design efficient and reliable AC inverters with our analog and embedded processing products

AC inverters are the industries classic go-to component for sensorless torque and speed-controlled applications. Energy efficient AC inverters with energy class IES2 help reduce global energy footprint, while high-reliable AC inverters with high EMC immunity reduce system downtime. Our industrial graded products come with many features such as, extended temperature range for high-efficiency power conversion, isolated current and voltage sensing, low latency real-time control, multi-protocol industrial communication and capacitive isolation technology including our Functional Safety-Capable, Functional Safety-Qualified and Functional Safety-Certified products.

Engineering smarter, more energy efficient AC inverters & VF drives

Design efficient and reliable real-time control systems

Our single and multi-core microcontrollers (MCUs) with integrated real-time motor control peripherals, math accelerators, programmable real-time processors, and configurable logic blocks enable:

  • Hot-side and cold-side controlled architectures with low latency and high bandwidth chip-to-chip interface
  • Accurate and robust sensorless torque and speed control
  • Parallel execution of control, communication and predictive maintenance algorithms
  • Less than 1us compute time for FOC and direct torque control to achieve highest energy efficiency class IES2 per IEC61800-9. 
  • Single-chip MCU with integrated industrial communication and real-time control peripherals remove the need for external FPGA.
