STM32 offers the performance of the industry-standard Cortex™-M3 core at the service of vector (or field-oriented) control algorithms. Vector-control algorithms are widely used in high-performance drives. They provide precise and responsive torque and speed control, and guarantee optimized efficiency during transient operations. Practically, they also have the advantage of using the same framework to control an asynchronous or synchronous motor.
