Controller & Motion Systems/C4I Systems

Under controller systems applications, such as encoder position, piezo motors, servo compensation, step motor stall detection, brushless DC motor commutation, micro-step generation, digital current/torque control, and more, require a unique design and production of PCBs.

PCB designs for controllers and motion systems, such as C4I applications, require the ability to support sufficient current to the load, noise immunity for the load, and accurate current sensing.

In the case of motion controllers with integrated power electronics, network communications, and derive DC, step motors require specific PCB design rules.

Other PCB factors, such as compact size, range of power output levels, vibration, and high level of connectivity make PCB manufacturing and design challenging.
