Agile Systems Inc. (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) announced its latest addition to the DigitalPOWER™ block amplifier family with the introduction of the 190V, 7A power management component. The patented DigitalPOWER™ block (DPB) technology combines three half bridges, a gate drive, and A/D with a digital signal processor for voltage and current control.
The DigitalPOWER™ block incorporates Agile's DSP-based DPCore™ technology, which supports numerous dc motor types, including brushed, brushless sensored, brushless sensorless, flux vector induction, servo, and stepper. The DPComm™ utilizes a digital communication interface that allows designers to control the DigitalPOWER™ block amplifier.
The DigitalPOWER™ block amplifier provides one key advantage over existing models in the amplifier family - the ability to use a rectified 120Vac (50Hz to 60Hz) voltage source to power the dc motor.
