Join Microchiprsquos Patrick Heath Senior Manager Strategic Marketing as he presents New Motor Controllers Lead the Way With Analog Circuit Integration Implementing sensorless motor-control algorithms requires measuring the phase currents from a three-phase motor Currently this is accomplished using shunt resistors and operational amplifiers (op amps) in circuits that are external to the Digital Signal Controller (DSC) or microcontroller (MCU) that is running the sensorless motor-control algorithms Analog circuits such as op amps and analog comparators are now often integrated onto the DSC or MCU This presentation will survey op-amp integration and investigate the resultant motor-control-system cost impact and tradeoffs along with other integration choices such as integrated power modules

In tough economic times companies often look for ways to trim expenses as a means to cope with a downturn in sales One of the areas often targeted for cutbacks is employee training There is not only the direct cost of the training to contend with but also travel expenses and time an employee spends away from the job During this challenging business climate however competitive pressures and technology changes donrsquot stop and it is training that can help a company be better positioned to take advantage of the potential upswing

Microchip with its global network of Regional Training Centers (RTCs) and third-party training partners is here to help companies stay competitive with cost-effective local training To help companies deal with issues of travel expense and time classes are given not only in Microchiprsquos facilities but are also taken on the road Customized

customer premise sessions can be scheduled offering the most convenience Time away can be managed more efficiently with the flexibility of half or full day class sessions

To be effective in teaching instruction must take into account the needs and expertise level of the attendee Microchiprsquos Regional Training Center classes are developed to provide a coordinated flow enabling engineers to implement a solution to their product development needs Instruction is developed and presented in product technology and implementation classes that are grouped into application based curriculum

Each curriculum flow enables the individual to engage with the training at a level that meets his or her current knowledge and needs The intent is to provide

Looking to Enhance Your Embedded Control Designstraining that is relevant to each attendee while eliminating the frustration often associated with attending classes that present too much known information or assume a level of knowledge beyond what the attendee currently possesses

Producttool classes provide knowledge on how Microchiprsquos products and development tools operate This knowledge provides the foundation upon which all application instruction is based Attendance at one of these classes can provide significant value through the reduction in time associated with instruction manuals and data sheet review or trial and error attempts to learn individually Market forces constantly press companies to add functionality and features to their products often outside their areas of core competence As a result engineers must continually broaden their knowledge base Microchiprsquos technology classes are intended to help engineers gain an understanding of a new field

Implementation classes combine elements of product and technology instruction to teach engineers how to design a real world application Classes at this level provide how-to instruction rather than what or why instruction

Microchip is currently offering classes in the following curriculum DSP Ethernet Human Interface Motor Control Power Management Signal Chain System Design and USB Future curriculum is expected to include CANLIN IrDAreg Lighting and RF

With a worldwide network of Regional Training Centers and certified third-party trainers Microchip makes it easy to enhance your technical skills with locations in nearly every metropolitan area across the world

For those organizations who desire to have a number of employees attend a course at the same time Microchip can customize any curriculum to meet your specific needs Our instructors arrive at your location with all presentation materials and equipment making it easy for your whole team to benefit from a specific course topic in one setting In addition to the instruction most Regional Training Center classes offer the opportunity to purchase a set of the development tools used in the class at a discounted price
