AmpDrive AD0505 UAV FOC ESC 50A 4-12S Energy-Efficient Drone Motor Controller MYXA-B2Z
AmpDrive AD0505 “Myxa” is designed for use in the propulsion systems of light unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), underwater vehicles, and surface vehicles. The controller provides up to 1200 W of continuous power output and supports a wide range of operating voltages, from 13 to 51 V (Li-ion 4 to 12 S). State-of-the-art vector control algorithms make AD0505 “Myxa” one of the most energy-efficient ESCs on the market. In the UAV field, the vector control technology is also known as field-oriented control, sine wave drive, or FOC. Myxa is compatible with virtually any PMSM or BLDC motor, unlike other vector control solutions. It can measure the parameters of the driven motor and automatically optimize itself for best performance.
Variants – Two types of Myxa are available:
-
- Myxa A – optimized for cost-sensitive applications.
- Myxa B – optimized for mission-critical applications.
Each type is available in several modifications, which are reviewed in the table. Regardless of the chosen enclosure option, all versions of Myxa are conformal-coated, which provides resilience against moisture, aggressive chemicals, corrosion, and abrasion.
