Use cases and implementation examples

Use Case 1: Industrial motor control (INVERTERS, pumps, fans)

[Use case overview]
Motors installed in factory facilities and industrial equipment require precise control of torque, speed, and current.
Real-time performance and reliability are essential, especially in INVERTERS control and pump/fan speed control. XMC is equipped with industrial-grade communication functions and control peripherals, enabling stable motor control even under long-term operation and high-load environments.

[Major features]
High-speed calculations with Cortex®-M4 core operating at up to 144MHz
High-precision PWM and ADC feedback control
Supports CAN and EtherCAT for flexible control network compatibility
DAVE™ IDE provides FOC (Field Oriented Control) library
EMC resistance and long life design make it ideal for industrial applications

Use case 2: Smart lighting and home appliance control (LED lighting, dimming, and communication integration)

[Use case overview]
Smart lighting and home appliances require complex controls such as dimming control, sensor integration, and communication functions.
XMC accelerates the development of IoT-enabled smart devices with its low-power consumption design and rich peripherals.

[Major features]
Smooth LED dimming control with high-precision PWM
UART/SPI/I2C can be used to connect with sensors and communication modules
Small package for space-saving design
GUI-based configuration and code generation with DAVE™ and ModusToolbox™
Low power consumption mode makes it ideal for battery-powered devices
