The expansion of the Intel Quark processors to IoT extends intelligent computing to a new spectrum of devices requiring lower power consumption for sensor input and data actuation applications. The Intel Quark processors for IoT provide flexible, low-power computing for a wide variety of small-form-factor applications bringing low-cost connectivity, integration, and compatibility to the next wave of intelligent things.

ON Semiconductor will highlight IoT solutions created around the Intel Quark processor family for a wide variety of IoT applications.

ON Semiconductor has combined Intel Quark processors with its motor drive and industry leading power management solutions, and extensive knowledge of motor control algorithms to implement the Direct Torque Control Space Vector Modulation (DTC-SVM) motor control platform for BLDC and AC inverter motors. The platform couples an ON Semiconductor IPM with an Intel Quark MCU D1000. It enables high dynamic performance at low speed and high torque, a 10% reduction in switching losses and a 10 times latency reduction.

David Somo, Vice President, Corporate Marketing, ON Semiconductor, commented: “We are proud to work with Intel as they share a similar strategic vision of enabling the IoT. Our collaboration with Intel has led to rapid advancements in system architecture and increased total performance in motor control solutions addressing a variety of applications. Intel’s IA architecture spans the edge to cloud computing spectrum and benefits from a comprehensive development tools ecosystem that simplifies and accelerates customer development.”

“The newest Intel Quark MCUs provide flexible, low-power computing for a wide variety of IoT applications," added Dipti Vachani, Vice President and General Manager, Intel Quark Solutions Division. “ON Semiconductor’s Intel-powered IoT solutions will enable valuable additions to the hardware, software and development ecosystem required for end product developers to rapidly introduce innovative new products to market.”
