According to International Energy Agency (IEA), more than 40% of global electricity is used for running the electric motors and systems that are often outdated and inefficient. With increasing rates of pollution and depletion of world energy reserves, industry is gradually advancing towards optimizing the efficiency of industrial motors and drivers.
For industrial motor control, safety and reliability are important factors that also need to be taken into consideration when selecting which motor control technology to use.
Another emerging trend that has been prevalent in recent years is the integration of several components into a single package to help designing solutions with minimal real estate usage.
STMicroelectronics has been proactive in the field of industrial motor control for over 20 years and offers a vast range of control solutions ranging from integrated intelligent power modules and systems-in-package, monolithic motor drivers, fast and efficient power switches and powerful and secure microcontrollers.
