Motor drives and motor control

STMicroelectronics

The VNH9045AQ motor driver from STMicroelectronics is preassembled with the external parts. It allows connection of the load, power supply and microcontroller.

The board supports control and diagnostic functions. This makes it easy to test direction control, pulse-width modulation, current feedback and diagnostics.

The board also supports development. It provides connectivity and some thermal heat-sinking for prototyping. The board uses a 4-layer FR4 PCB measuring 65.74mm x 93.13mm.



Renesas

The SLG4DVKGOCONF Go Configure Development Board from Renesas Electronics is a universal platform for the ForgeFPGA™ family and supports all features of the Go Configure Software Hub. It is intended for rapid prototyping, evaluation, and development, and works with dedicated socket cards matched to the target FPGA and package.

Related options include SLG47912V-SKT and SLG47921V-SKT on Socket Card, SLG47920V-SKT on Socket Card, and SLG47912C-SKT and SLG47921C-SKT on Socket Card. The socket cards add onboard SPI Flash, PMOD access, standalone boot support, standalone power connections, and onboard clock generation for practical bench-level development.

Microchip

The EV42B57A evaluation board features the MIC4607A MOSFET driver, capable of driving three-phase brushless dc motors rated up to 20A and 85V. The board supports asymmetric turn-on and turn-off, allowing designers to precisely tune electromagnetic interference (EMI) behavior.
