DigiKey at embedded world 2025 with Qorvo

Designed for precision motor control in industrial automation, robotics, and automotive applications, the ACT72350 integrates advanced features aimed at enhancing efficiency, reliability, and performance in next-generation motor-driven systems.

The ACT72350 is a highly integrated three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver, offering a wide operating voltage range to support a variety of applications, from low-power industrial motors to high-power automotive systems. With an optimised gate drive architecture, it reduces switching losses and improves overall efficiency, making it ideal for applications requiring precise motion control. Additionally, the ACT72350 incorporates advanced field-oriented control (FOC) algorithms, enabling smoother and more responsive motor operation, which is critical for automation and robotic systems that demand high precision.

One of the standout features of the ACT72350 is its integrated protection mechanisms. The device includes overcurrent, overvoltage, and thermal protection, ensuring robust operation even in harsh environments. These safety features are particularly important for industrial and automotive applications, where reliability is a key requirement. Scott highlighted how Qorvo has designed the ACT72350 to simplify development, providing engineers with a flexible and scalable solution that can be easily integrated into a wide range of motor control systems.

Beyond its technical capabilities, the ACT72350 is designed to support Industry 4.0 initiatives by enabling real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance. With built-in current and voltage sensing, the device allows for continuous monitoring of motor health, helping to prevent failures and reduce downtime. Scott emphasised that Qorvo’s focus is not just on delivering high-performance motor control but also on providing intelligent solutions that enhance system longevity and efficiency.
