Mister-T,

Good info. Do you follow the BLDC thread in rcgroups? Some of the guys there have said that the Atmel MCUs do a better job in brushless application. That's why a lot of companies use the ATMEGA8 and ATMEGA16. Most of my controllers that have those will drive all motors that I have very smooth. They might not have all the memory like the Silicon Labs one, but some manufacturer can stuff a lot of info in them.
