Why Software-Only FoC Hits CPU Limits
Conventional MCUs spend cycles on complex trigonometric transforms and control loops, which leads to high CPU load, limited PWM frequency, and reduced responsiveness.
Simplify FoC Design with Hardware-Based Vector Engine
Toshiba's Vector Engine executes FoC tasks directly in hardware, freeing CPU resources for application logic and networking. This simplifies design while ensuring high responsiveness and predictable performance.
Faster PWM Updates. Lower CPU Load. Measurable Gains
In testing, TXZ+ MCUs with Vector Engine achieved up to 40% CPU load reduction while maintaining 20 kHz PWM, with measurable gains of up to 30% efficiency in BLDC motor applications.
