On this page you will find applications examples, document, tips and tricks,... related to STM32 Motor control.

1. What is Motor Control ?

From hardware tools and embedded software to training resources and documentation, the STM32 ecosystem offers many tools to ease the development of motor control applications. STM32 MCUs are particularly suitable to develop Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM), Brushless DC motors (BLDC) and Stepper motors.

4. STM32 compliant with Motor Control application

The STM32 portfolio includes devices based on Arm® Cortex®-M cores (M0, M0+, M3, M33, M4, and M7). Thanks to the MCUs' shared ecosystem, developers benefit from enhanced flexibility to move forward with their motor control design. STM8 MCUs, our 8-bit family of microcontrollers, complement our offer and enable the design of very cost-sensitive motor control solutions.

Each STM32 series offers a different set of peripherals matching different Motor Control application requirements.
