ON Semiconductor  has established a collaboration with Theta Power Systems International.

OnSemi-MotorDriverDevKit-773
This collaboration will enable customers to capitalise on motor control techniques along semiconductor solutions targeting applications migrating to brushless DC (BLDC) motors.
Theta Power Systems International has several decades of experience deploying motor control software with name-brand appliance companies, along with a customer base that spans the globe.
Together, Theta  and ON  will address the causes behind motors consuming approximately 45% of the world’s electricity, by providing hardware and software solutions that migrate traditional single phase ON/OFF motors to variable speed three-phase BLDC electronically commutated motors.

Government regulations worldwide are driving a reduction in electric motor power consumption by increasing efficiency requirements in HVAC, appliances and pool pumps.
Driving the shift from using traditional AC motors to variable speed BLDC motors is practically mandatory in order to meet these new regulatory standards.
By utilizing electronics and control methods, ON and Theta will deliver customers a near-turnkey experience that will accelerate their move to 3-phase BLDC technology.
