MCX501－High performance 1-Axis Motion Control IC
MCX501 is 1-axis motion control IC which can control either stepper motor driver or pulse type servo motor for position and speed control and can perform trapezoidal/smooth S-curve driving as acceleration/deceleration drive.

Speed range-free
MCX501 is epoch-making motion control IC which can set the drive speed by a 1pps unit from 1pps to 8Mpps without range setting (range-free).
When setting the drive speed by using speed multiple (Range setting),
・ Setting multiple small for precise speed setting at low speed → It can not shift to high speed drive.
・ Setting multiple large for high speed drive → It can not set precise drive speed.
There were the above limitations for the previous ICs.
By speed range free, such inconveniences have been taken away and MCX501 can change the speed directly from low speed, like 1pps, 2pps to high speed pulse, 1Mpps during driving.
Various acceleration/deceleration driving mode
●Type of acceleration/deceleration drive
MCX501 can perform various acceleration/deceleration driving, such as constant speed drive, trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration drive(symmetrical/non-symmetrical), S-curve acceleration/deceleration drive (Symmetrical/non-symmetrical).
●Starting of automatic deceleration
In position drive of trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration (symmetrical/non-symmetrical) and S-curve acceleration/deceleration (symmetrical only), MCX501 calculates the deceleration start point and starts deceleration drive automatically. (Non-symmetrical S-curve acceleration/deceleration driving is excluded.)
●S-curve acceleration/deceleration
In S-curve acceleration/deceleration, a primary linear increase/decrease method is applied. Therefore the speed acceleration/deceleration profile forms parabolic S-curve. Triangle waveforms during S-curve acceleration/deceleration are prevented by a special method.

Various synchronous actions
Synchronous action is the function that executes a specified action when the specified activation factor (provocative) occurs. It can perform a specified action fast and precisely because there is no intervention of CPU.
Synchronous action is can be set to 4-set. Composition of 1-set is a specified activation factor and a specified action. There are 15 types of activation factor, such as the passage of the specified position, start/stop of driving, the rising/falling of the external input signal and expiring of the built-in timer and so on. As a specified action, there are 28 types, such as start/stop of driving, saving a value of current position counter and writing the speed of driving and so on. To set the multiple sets of synchronous action, various kinds of applications can be executed.
