Brushless DC motors motors are well suited to meet the efficiency and performance requirements of today's household products and other motor applications.

Whether the application employs position sensors or a sensorless control method, microcontrollers offer the ideal solution for controlling BLDC motors — specially with the use of versatile timer and safety-related peripherals.

For sensorless control, on-chip arithmetic accelerators enable fine-tuned performance without the expense of an external DSP.

This article details how to control Brushless DC motors.
