With support of system design tools and software in ModusToolbox, this is a comprehensive solution that will allow developers to create high-performance, highly efficient and secured motor control and power conversion systems.
PSOC Control C3 features Entry and Main Line products which offer a scalable and compatible range of performance, features, and memory options. Dedicated MCUs for Motor Control (C3M) and Power Conversion (C3P) address the needs of focus applications, such as home appliances, industrial drives, robots, light electric vehicles (LEVs), solar, and HVAC systems.
These PSOC Control C3 microcontrollers are designed to enable real-time control of systems that need to respond to real-time events with minimal delay and low utilisation.
The MCUs operate at up to 180 MHz and are supported by a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Floating-Point Unit (FPU) and the Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC), a hardware accelerator for mathematical functions to speed up control loop calculations.
All MCUs feature a wide range of peripherals, on-chip memory, as well as various interfaces and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) architectures.
PSOC Control Entry Line MCUs (C3P2 and C3M2) use high-resolution and high-precision A/D converters and timers, while Main Line MCUs (C3P5 and C3M5) also offer high-resolution PWMs (HRPWMs), allowing high-performance systems to respond to real-time events with minimal delay.
All four series support the execution of power and motor control loops, with the Main Line devices offering additional advanced features for higher switching frequencies and support for power systems that utilise Wide Bandgap (WBG) switches.
PSOC Control C3 MCUs come equipped with robust safety features such as Class B and SIL 2 safety libraries as well as PSA Certified Level 2 / EPC2 security. With crypto accelerator, TrustZone, and secured key storage, enabling IP protection and device firmware updates.
PSOC Control is supported by ModusToolbox, a unified ecosystem platform with tools and software solutions, that offers dedicated ecosystems and software libraries, Motor Suite and Power Suite, for PSOC Control focus applications.
The suites provide a seamless graphical user interface that streamlines evaluation and training and provides real-time parameter monitoring for valuable insights into performance, efficiency, and reliability.
Specialised application environments enable engineers to quickly identify issues, optimise designs, and enhance overall functionality.
