Leafmotor

Leafmotor announced the launch of a new generation for the brushless motor series evaluation kit (DRV8412-C2-KIT). The kit contains two brushless dc motor which can be started directly or single department all the necessary hardware software of stepper motor.

Out of the box with the brushless motor controller and driver solution containing DRV8412 motor drives, real-time control C2000 ™ Piccolo ™ microcontroller (MCU), controlCARD module, Quick Start GUI, comprehensive development of the source code, Code Composer Studio ™ (CCStudio) integrated development environment (IDE) and a variety of motors;

Modular control architecture for the application select the appropriate level of processing performance to provide a high degree of flexibility. In addition to C2000 controlCARD module outside, TI will provide more in 2011, the MCU options;

With integrated MOSFET’s DRV8412 motor drive compared with competing solutions can be Rdson sharp drop 3 times, up to 97% efficiency, and provide voltage in 50 V 6 A (continuous value) / 12 A (peak ) current without expensive heat sink.Besides, DRV8412 motor driver chip also includes advanced protection features, such as periodic over-current, over temperature and under voltage protection, can significantly reduce design complexity, board space, and ensuring higher system reliability;

C2000 Piccolo MCU support control, communications, and debugging. Industry-leading 32-bit embedded MCU in the C2000 MCU device family integrates the most advanced control peripherals and CPU functions. Free controlSUITE ™ software can get the most comprehensive combination of software modules brushless motor controller, real-time debugging and debugging open reference design;

C source code and use-based GUI can demonstrate one or two brushless dc motor voltage and current control and a stepper motor speed and index (with up to 128 micro-steps).
