The three-phase AC induction motor (ACIM) control reference design is based on V-Series MCUs and provides an example of a three-phase sensorless ACIM control solution. This reference solution uses field-oriented vector control (FOC) of the rotor speed and does not require any speed or position sensors, thereby increasing reliability and reducing final design cost.
Sensorless BLDC control at ultra-high supply voltages (up to 18 V) is often required in many applications such as drone ESCs and DC fans. This reference design is based on NXP's highly integrated 8-bit S08 microcontroller MC9S08SU8/16. With its compact design, the BLDC control board delivers outstanding performance at a very low cost.
This reference design introduces PMSM safe motor control software optimized for the dedicated HW HVP-MC3PH-LITE equipped with Kinetis V-series MCUs. The purpose of this reference design is to help customers develop motor control solutions with safety features for controlled heating systems, electric circulation pumps, water installations and other equipment used in industrial applications. The reference design hardware is targeted at circulating pump applications but can be reused in general three-phase motor control applications up to 60 W from 110 V to 230 V AC. The reference design hardware uses NXP's cost-optimized MCU MKV10Z32 with core M0+ and NXP high-voltage DC-DC converter TEA1721. Integrated power modules, surge circuitry, and single-shunt current sensing are also implemented. In the reference design software, sensorless PMSM control with IEC60730/IEC60335 Class B device safety is implemented, including MCU core, memory and peripheral testing, program flow inspection and other safety-related functions. Customers can reuse design reference manuals, schematics, firmware and manufacturing files to accelerate product design.
Ardufocus is the only OSS/OSH controller to support two independent focus motors, the high-resolution mode allows for stepwise sub-micron movements, multiple acceleration profiles, and it never forgets the focuser position between restarts.
