Electronic speed controller (ESC) is a device which can control a Brushless DC electric motor. This page is meant as a place to write down research notes and it is most definitely a work in progress.
Control
The first ESCs were typically controlled by applying a PWM signal to a pin. Since then many other both analogue and digital approaches have been developed. This section list some of these along with benefits and drawbacks.

MCU
The choice of the optimal MCU is somewhat complex. The following input/output is necessary:
- USB (DP/DM)
- SPI (CLK, MOSI, MISO and CS)
- SWD (CLK, DIO)
- UART (RX, TX for debugging)
- 3 x Analog In for current measurement
- 3 x PWM capable high-side outputs
- 3 x low side outputs
- 3 x interrupt capable inputs for zero crossing detection
MOSFET Half Bridge Driver
