Infineon Technologies has widened its portfolio of application kits for its 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers, introducing scalable reference designs for motor drives, which ease the evaluation and implementation of hardware and software solutions for high efficient drives and speed up the time to market. The new kits are built around members of the 8-bit XC800 and 16-bit XE166 family supporting advanced motor control techniques like Field Oriented Control (FOC) and Power Factor Control (PFC).
The three new application kits increase the scalability of reference systems for motor drive applications of Infineon: The Dual Motor Drive Kit based on the XC878 and XE166 improves energy efficiency supporting both FOC and PFC with a scalable solution from 8-bit to 16-bit and a power board driving up to 8A at 110V to 230V. The FOC Motor Drive Kit enables FOC for XC878 and XE166 with a power board capable to drive up to 7.5A at 23V to 56V. The 12V-Brushless DC Drive Kit uses the XC866 and makes BLDC (Brushless DC) motor drive design an easy task with the capability to drive motors with up to 20A at 9V to 18V.
All application kits from Infineon contain a free tool chain including compiler and debugger and offer Plug-and-Play design as all related hardware and software parts are provided. A USB to JTAG and CAN bridge allows digital isolated real time monitoring.
These new application kits widen the portfolio of application kits from Infineon serving a voltage range from 12V to 230V and currents to drive from 0.2A to 20A for motors like stepper, BLDC and PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). All new kits are ready to be used also with Dave Drive, Infineon’s unique auto code generator for motor drives.
