Specialized ICs for the control your circuit needs.

Specialized control and interface ICs.

Encoder interface

Quadrature counter ICs for translating encoder signals into position or motion counts. Compare input signal rates, counter features, and the interface to the host processor.

Motor control

Control ICs for brushless DC motor applications. Review commutation, feedback signals, and the external drive circuit needed for the motor and load.

Lighting control and dimming

ICs for dimming and LED-control functions. Match the control method, supply, and output circuitry to the lighting load and user interface.

Digital potentiometers

Electronically controlled resistance for circuit adjustment. Compare resistance range, step resolution, control interface, and signal limits against the application.

Timers and frequency dividers

Timing and counting functions for control circuits, including time-delay applications. Specify trigger behavior, timing range, supply, and the external load interface.

PIR sensor interface

Interface ICs for passive-infrared motion sensing in occupancy and security applications. Review sensor signals, sensitivity, timing, and the surrounding detection circuit.
