Motor control development kit

30 April 2008 Design Automation

Infineon has announced availability of a low-cost 3-phase motor control development kit which combines the company's XC886 series of 8-bit MCUs capable of supporting field oriented control (FOC) with its latest highly integrated intelligent power module CIPOS (control integrated power system).

Among the cost-sensitive applications targeted are motor controls in devices such as washing machines, dish washers, airconditioners, and other household appliances, as well as industrial fans and pumps where energy consumption is required to decrease based on regulatory requirements and consumer demand.

Including optimised FOC motor control software, along with a digitally isolated realtime monitoring tool, the development kit offers an easy-to-use reference platform capable of driving both permanent magnet synchronous motors and induction motors with power ratings up to 750 W.

The high-performance XC886 combines an enhanced 8051 core with a 16-bit vector computer and a powerful motor control peripheral set, including a 10-bit ADC and a flexible PWM CAPCOM6, a capture compare unit.

Based on a combination of Infineon's TRENCHSTOP IGBT and emitter controlled diode technology, the CIPOS power module eliminates as many as 23 discrete components. The onboard switched mode power supply based on COOLSET with integrated PWM and protection control IC enables quick startup and evaluation.
