ARM-Based Development Kit for 3-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
The MTRDEVKSPNK144 from NXP Semiconductors is a development kit engineered for 3-phase motor control applications requiring one Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) motor, such as active suspension or electric powertrain.
Based on the 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M based S32K1 microcontroller family, the MTRDEVKSPNK144 enables rapid prototyping and evaluation of the motor control application without having to wait for the final hardware design.
The MTRDEVKSPNK144 application software takes advantage of the Automotive Math and Motor Control Library Set and provides a complete reference implementation of the 3-phase PMSM motor control application.
The system is designed to drive a 3-phase PM synchronous motor. The application meets the following performance specifications:
