Focusing on performance, flexibility and ease of integration, the AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified SmartMCD features a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0 CPU and a Vector Engine co-processor as well as gate-drivers to control external N-channel MOSFETs for driving three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) more efficiently.
Now a central component on the MIKROE SmartMCD TB9M003FG board, this IC can be conveniently designed into automotive applications like electric pumps, fans, body control, and thermal management systems.
The board includes an integrated inverter comprising six small-package, AEC-Q101 qualified MOSFETs for efficient power management. The SmartMCD TB9M003FG board can be optionally connected to external inverter boards for driving higher power BLDC motors consuming several hundred watts.
The SmartMCD TB9M003FG board’s compact design, measuring 130mm × 73mm, includes all circuitry required for motor control, switches, and potentiometers for operational testing. An on-board debug unit (based on Toshiba's TMPM067FWQG), is compliant with the CMSIS-DAP on-board emulator standard and enables out-of-box operation, testing and debugging of the target device.
