Electronic Speed Controller modules are important subsystems for non-military drones and users demanding more efficient models that provide longer flight times and higher dynamic behavior with smoother and more stable performance.
The speed control is sensorless, using FOC speed control. This high-speed sensorless-FOC reference design for Drone ESCs provides an FOC algorithm implementation to achieve longer flight time, better dynamic performance and higher integration.
The Sensorless high speed FOC control uses TI’s FAST software observer and leverages an InstaSPIN-Motion
C2000
LaunchPad and DRV8305 BoosterPack.
To learn more about Electronic Speed Controllers for drone designs, mark April 5th on your calendar and be sure to attend the webinar: How to extend flight time and battery life of quadcopters and industrial drones with electronic speed controllers
Hope to see you there!
