Microchip has introduced two new low-cost motor control development systems, both featuring the flexible dsPIC33F 'MC' DSC families, which integrate advanced motor control features. In addition, Microchip has produced five royalty- and licence-free application notes, aiding engineers in creating motor applications that generate maximum torque using the minimum amount of energy.
The new dsPICDEM MCHV development system is designed for the evaluation and design of a variety of high-voltage, closed-loop motor control applications using AC induction motors (ACIMs), brushless DC (BLDC) motors or permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). The board includes in-circuit debugging circuitry, eliminating the need for a separate debugger for development with Microchip’s dsPIC33 motor control DSC families. Additionally, this tool combines a proven motor control system and power factor correction (PFC) for regulatory requirements.
The dsPICDEM MCSM development board is targeted for creating unipolar and bipolar stepper motor applications. This board enables the development of both open-loop and current-closed-loop microstepping routines using Microchip’s dsPIC33 motor control families. This development tool also provides engineers with a control GUI, which allows them to focus on integrating the other application features and fine tuning the motor’s operation.
