| The race to bring new electronics-based products to market is never-ending. Design and engineering teams find themselves caught up in a fast-paced environment that demands design prototypes within weeks. This speed may mask challenges that come to light during production planning but introducing a Design For Manufacture (DFM) approach provides a framework that highlights potential issues before production commences. |

| By combining control and driver functions in a highly-integrated System-in-Package (SiP) solution, the ECS640A brushless DC motor controller greatly simplifies the development of high-voltage motor control systems including those deployed in HVAC, refrigeration and robotics. The unprecedented flexibility and integration in a single IC package truly redefines BLDC (brushless DC) motor control performance in an extremely small form-factor. |
