That's no big deal. It's a 30MHz microcontroller. Fortunately you don't need to go over 10,000RPM mechanical! haha.

This is one of the reasons I'm interested in SiC switches. The motors I'm using can run up to about 12,000 or maybe 13,000 rpm. I'd like to make use of their capabilities like this.

It seems one would also want to increase the switching frequency to have good resolution at those speeds. Perhaps a motor speed adjustable switching frequency??
