NXP Semiconductors S32M2 PMSM/BLDC Motor Control Evaluation Boards

NXP Semiconductors S32M2 PMSM/BLDC Motor Control Evaluation Boards are engineered for 3-phase Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) control applications such as electric pumps, cooling systems, and actuators.

The S32M24x integrated solution provides a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 S32K1 microcontroller and an analog die with a voltage regulator, gate driver, current sensing, and LIN/CAN physical layer in a system-in-package (SiP) format. The S32M27x is an integrated solution based on an internal 32-bit Arm Cortex-M7 S32K3 microcontroller and analog die with a voltage regulator, gate driver, current sensing, and LIN/CAN physical layer. The boards allow rapid prototyping and evaluation of BLDC and PMSM control applications without waiting for the final hardware design.

The NXP S32M2 PMSM/BLDC Motor Control Evaluation Boards implement the MCSPTE1AK344 application software, which includes the Automotive Math and Motor Control Library (AMMCLib) set plus the Real-Time Drivers (RTD) software package. This application software supplies a complete reference implementation for both 3-phase BLDC and PMSM motor control.
