    AD0505

    AmpDrive AD0505 "Myxa" is a high-end FOC ESC based on the Télega motor control technology.

    AmpDrive AD0505 "Myxa" is designed for use in propulsion systems of light unmanned aerial (UAV), underwater, and surface vehicles. The controller provides up to 1200 W of continuous power output and supports a wide range of operating voltages 13–51 V (Li-ion 4–12 S).

    State-of-the-art vector control algorithms make AD0505 "Myxa" one of the most energy-efficient ESC on the market. In the UAV field, the vector control technology is also known as field-oriented control, sine wave drive, or just FOC. Unlike other vector control solutions, Myxa is compatible with virtually any PMSM or BLDC motor, and is able to 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.

    Testimonials

    “I want to express my gratitude to you for such a successful controller, it really allowed to increase the flight duration of one of our production vehicles by 25%.”

    - Lipovy Andrey (Chief Designer at Spaitech LLC)

    “Today I had a chance for a first "serious” test. It was done with 6S, so maximum thrust was “only” 5 kg. But it may be interesting for you, that we could achieve 3.1 kg thrust with only about 200W - which means 16 g/W efficiency. A pretty good value at 3.1 kg. It looks like your ESC is already a winner for us! Test video.“

    - Helge Hackbarth (Managing Director at KopterKraft OÜ)

    "We took a known problematic motor that would always get bogged down in rapid acceleration and skip and [Myxa] made it work. Quality is top notch […], no corners cut on that.”

    - Ryan Johnston (CEO at Applied Aeronautics)

    “[Zubax Myxa] played a pivotal role in our success, providing reliability and outstanding functionality/integration with superior battery efficiency. Thanks to [Zubax’s] support, our drone effectively lowered battery depletion, enabling us to power our onboard navigation and computer, furthermore benefiting overall performance.”
