How To Choose A BMS & Motor Controller For Power & Garden Tools

The power and garden tools market is rapidly evolving toward smarter, safer, and more connected products, driven by cordless convenience, automation, and energy efficiency. Manufacturers face pressure to deliver compact, high-performance solutions that minimize design complexity while maximizing reliability and user experience. Qorvo’s system-level technologies in motor control and battery management are enabling this next generation of intelligent tools.

Qorvo’s Battery Management Systems (BMS), including the PAC22140 and PAC25140, support a range of chemistries and mid-range voltages, enabling fast charging, extended runtime, and enhanced battery longevity. Hardware-level protections against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits, and thermal events operate independently of MCU code for rapid response, while integrated algorithms optimize state-of-charge and health monitoring. These devices also consolidate MCU, power management, and analog front-end functions, reducing BOM cost and accelerating time-to-market.

For motor control, solutions like the PAC55711 and ACT72350 deliver high torque with low noise, precise speed regulation, and robust protection against overloads, overcurrent, and overheating. Features such as multimode power management, Vds sensing, and configurable AFEs ensure consistent performance under varying load conditions, while integrated fault detection and watchdog timers provide reliability in harsh environments.

Together, Qorvo’s BMS and motor control devices offer a scalable, integrated platform that simplifies design, enhances safety, and empowers OEMs to produce smarter, longer-lasting cordless tools. From prosumer drills to industrial-grade outdoor equipment, Qorvo delivers the silicon and system insight to transform innovation into market-ready, high-performance solutions.
