Universal Drive Controller
Motor and drive control IP core for industrial motion control.
Overview
Universal Drive Controller is an Enclustra IP core for motor and drive control. It implements the control loops needed for industrial motion control inside the FPGA, giving low-latency, high-precision motor drive.
Positive ONE Group supports Universal Drive Controller end to end: choosing the right option, providing evaluation versions, helping you obtain reference designs, and supply and long-term availability in volume production. We work in English and Japanese.

Frequently asked questions
How is this IP core delivered?
It is licensed per project. An evaluation version is available so you can confirm operation on your own FPGA before production. Deliverables are a netlist or encrypted RTL, a sample design and the user manual.
Which FPGAs can Universal Drive Controller be used with?
The target FPGA is AMD (Xilinx) and Altera (Intel). The vendor is selected by product code. The devices listed by the manufacturer are AMD 7-Series / Intel Cyclone V. Supported design tools are AMD Vivado / Altera Quartus/QSYS. If your target device is already fixed, please ask us to confirm.
How is Universal Drive Controller delivered and licensed?
It is supplied as a VHDL source IP core with a technical support package. Extensive synthesis-time and run-time parameters let you optimise FPGA resource usage, and custom development is available.
How can I evaluate Universal Drive Controller?
An evaluation licence is included with the evaluation kit. The evaluation hardware is AMD version: Mars ZX3 + Mars PM3 / Altera version: Mercury SA1 + Mercury+ PE1-200 / FMC-DR2 drive control card / motor (BLDC / DC / stepper). Please contact us to discuss the configuration.
What is the price and lead time for Universal Drive Controller?
Pricing for Universal Drive Controller depends on configuration, licence type, quantity and any customisation, so we quote individually. Tell us your application and quantity in the form on this page and our engineers will confirm the specification and come back with a quotation and lead time.
