DRV8312-C2-KIT - BLDC Motor Kit with DRV8312 and Piccolo MCU
The DRV8312-C2-KIT is a motor control evaluation kit for spinning three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) and brushless AC (BLAC) - often referred to as permanent magnet synchronous (PMSM) - motors.
The DRV8312-C2-KIT is a high-performance, power-efficient, cost-effective sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) and sensored / sensorless trapezoidal commutation platform that speeds development for quicker time to market.
Features
- Out-of-the-box motor control and driver solution includes the DRV8312 motor driver, a 32-bit C2000™ Piccolo™ microcontroller (MCU) controlCARD module, a quick-start graphical user interface, full development source code, Code Composer Studio™ (CCStudio) integrated development environment (IDE) and a three-phase BLDC motor
- Flexible control platform that supports sensorless FOC, and sensorless and sensored trapezoidal commutation control for rapid evaluation and development of three-phase motors. By adding a separate shaft encoder, the DRV8312-C2-KIT can also support sensored FOC
- DRV8312 three-phase, fractional-horsepower motor driver provides the highest current output in its class, delivering up to 6.5 A, without the need for a costly external heat sink. The DRV8312 motor driver is robust, reliable and fully protected with cycle-by-cycle over-current, over-temperature, cross-conduction and under-voltage protection, reducing design complexity and board space, and ensuring higher system reliability
- C2000TM Piccolo MCU performs control, communications, and debug functions. The industry-leading 32-bit C2000TM MCU integrates the most advanced analog feedback, digital control peripherals and CPU capability in an embedded MCU device family. This includes access to the most thorough set of motor control software modules, real-time debug capabilities, and open-tooled reference designs via free controlSUITE™ software
DRV8312-C2-KIT Applications
- Sub-50-V and 7-A brushless motors for driving medical pumps, gates, lifts and small pumps, as well as industrial and consumer robotics and automation.
