General Information

Aeroflex Universal Motor Driver

The Aeroflex Universal Motor Driver provides a general-purpose flexible interface between the customer’s system and any Aeroflex motor. The UMD receives commands from the host system in the form of serial digital, e.g. RS-232, analog voltage, or discrete levels. The sophisticated Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) chip in the UMD is programmed to implement the customer’s algorithm for controlling the motor. This may be a simple algorithm, e.g. constant speed or constant torque. Or the algorithm may be more complex, such as a PID Controller for a positioning system, in which the customer provides the successive position commands, and the DSP closes the loop.

Output waveshapes are synthesized using high-efficiency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). In most cases, the winding inductance of the motor is sufficient to filter the high-frequency (typically 100kHz) PWM components and provide smooth, high-efficiency operation.
