Texas Instruments Dual Motor Control and PFC Developer's Kit TMDS2MTRPFCKIT TMDS2MTRPFCKIT Scheda Tecnica

 

The new Piccolo F28035 based Motor 
Control Developer’s kits from Texas  
Instruments leverage the real-time control 
capabilities of Piccolo, along with  
TI’s industry leading analog, to bring field 
oriented motor control and power factor  
correction into cost sensitive  applications. 
Both of these new kits include everything 
needed to start development: a motor 
control baseboard, with onboard, isolated  
USB JTAG emulation, F28035 control-
CARD, permanent magnet motors, and a 
desktop DC power supply. 
  The software included with these new 
kits controls up to two permanent magnet 
motors using sensorless field oriented 

• Power factor correction plus dual or  
  single axis motor control
• Sensorless field oriented control
• Single Piccolo controls PFC and motor
  control stages
• Piccolo F28035 controlCARD based EVM
• Isolated onboard USB JTAG emulation
• High performance TI analog used in PFC  
  and motor driver stages

control techniques, and is tuned for the 
motors included with the kit. The software 
also digitally controls the two phase  
interleaved power factor correction  
(PFC) stage. 
       The PFC plus dual axis baseboard 
is based around TI’s high performance 
analog technology. Central to the kit are 
the DRV8402 motor drivers, a single chip
dual full bridge motor driver. These 36-pin 
chips can output 250 watts each at up to 
96% efficiency. The baseboard limits each 
driver to 40W each, due to board size
considerations.
  These two new motor kits are part of  
the new C2000

™

 controlCARD platform. 

Based on a simple daughter card and a 
common pin-out, the controlCARD allows 
multiple C2000 MCUs to be evaluated  
on the same baseboard. TI offers pin  
compatible controlCARDs for both the  
Piccolo and Delfino

™

 MCU families.

  The Piccolo F28035 controlCARD 
included with both motor control kits 
features the latest Piccolo microcontroller. 
Running at up to 60 MHz, the F28035
features dual internal oscillators, up to 
128 KB of flash, a 12-bit 4.6 MSPS ADC,
high resolution ePWM outputs, and the
new control law accelerator (CLA). The 
CLA is an independent, floating-point 
coprocessor designed to run control  
algorithms without any CPU involvement.
