Description

The High Voltage Motor Control and PFC Developers Kit provides and easy, open source way to evaluate the Piccolo or Delfino microcontroller and TI analog in a high voltage environment. A single MCU controls the power factor correction(PFC) stage and the motor control stage. The PFC takes a line level AC input (~110 to ~240VAC) and outputs up to 750 watts of power, regulated by closed loop control. The motor driver stage can be driven from either the PFC or from a separate power stage and accepts up to 400V and outputs up to 1.5 kilo-watt of power. The motor driver stage can drive the most common types of three phase motors; AC induction, brushless DC, and permanent magnet synchronous motors. The microcontroller controls each type of motor using closed loop control (Trapezoidal, V/F, or FOC) using sensored and sensorless back-emf techniques.

All software, documentation, and hardware documents can be accessed by installing controlSUITE.
