Overview
Modern economy washing machines now have to be eco-friendly electric household appliances, providing modern technology advances that cleans clothes, whilst using less water, less power and are quieter in their operation.
A modern washing machine requires a motor that can deliver high torque during the agitation portion of the wash cycle, high-speed rotation during the spin cycle, and a high degree of durability. As some models function not only as washers but as dryers as well, they must also incorporate inverter control technology for the drying function.
Renesas has a wide-ranging lineup of microcontrollers that enable our customers to develop products that satisfy these requirements. The 78K0 Series, the 78K0R Series, the M16C Family and the RL78 Family of microcontrollers provide a cost effective solution for motor and system control applications. These MCUs meet a variety of requirements for washing machine control, including wide-range motor torque, rotation rate control, and load variation.
