PMSM Motor Control Dev Board for Automotive Systems
The NXP MTRCKTSPS5744P motor control development kit is designed for applications requiring one permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), such as power steering or electric powertrain. This development kit is designed to enable rapid prototyping and evaluation of the motor control application early in the design process
Target applications include; Braking and stability control, Electric power steering, Active suspension, Hybrid electric vehicles, Transitions and gearbox, and so on.
The kit includes a 32-bit NXP MPC5744P MCU based controller board and the 3-phase low-voltage power stage board. The Application software that provides a complete reference implementation of the PMSM motor control application and takes advantage of the Automotive Math and Motor Control Library Set.
This development platform has the capability to drive a wide range of electric motors thanks to tightly interconnected motor control peripherals. The proposed design exhibits the suitability and advantages of the MPC5744P microcontroller for motor control applications.
