Qorvo's PAC5256 belongs to Qorvo's Power Application Controller® (PAC) product family. This family features highly-optimized SOC devices that can implement BLDC or PMSM programmable motor controller and driver in a single integrated IC.
Targeted applications for the PAC5256 include power tools, garden tools, white goods, compressors and pumps, ac-powered fans, embedded speed controllers and general-purpose motor controllers. The product integrates a FLASH-based MCU, power management, high-side and low-side gate drivers and signal-conditioning components in a single product.
PAC5256 is optimized for ac-powered BLDC or PMSM motor control applications. PAC5256 includes optimized hardware support and software libraries for the IEC/UL 60730 Class B Safety standard.
PAC5256 contains a 50MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0 with 32kB of FLASH that can be used to implement high-performance motor control and supervisory applications. The MCU also contains motor control peripherals such as 10-bit 1 MSPS dual auto-sequencer ADC, pwm timers with hardware dead-time insertion, etc.
