TMDSHVMTRPFCKIT vs TMDSHVMTRINSPIN before buying

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSHVMTRINSPIN, MOTORWARE, CONTROLSUITE, CCSTUDIO

after noticing that there is an similar development kit  TMDSHVMTRINSPIN, as  TMDSHVMTRPFCKIT is, so I got a problem with choosing which one is better for my application, thus I've placed few basic questions. Please help me!

I have to make a choice between two kits:

TMDSHVMTRPFCKIT and TMDSHVMTRINSPIN, now I have following questions:

1. Is the TMDSHVMTRINSPIN kit comming with Code Composer Studio CD?

2. Can I use TMDSHVMTRINSPIN with delfino F28335 control card?

3. Is the TMDSHVMTRINSPIN equiped with output phases voltage sensors?

4. am I right that the difference between TMDSHVMTRINSPIN and TMDSHVMTRPFCKIT is only the control cards on it, is it the same power module?

Thank You!

  • Both kits use the exact same high voltage kit, rev1p1 yellow PCB with black enclosure.

    Only difference is that INSPIN ships with the F28069M controlCARD which enables the InstaSPIN-FOC solution, delivered through MotorWare.

    PFCKIT ships with F28035 and F28335 controlCARDs and is supported with various motor, pfc, and motor+pfc projects delivered through controlSUITE.

    1. Both ship with CCS...I think the PFCKIT may still ship with v4, but either way you can always download latest v5.x from www.ti.com/ccstudio

    2. You can use the hvkit r1p1 baseboard with anything you like.  Yes, you can buy either one of the kits and add more controlCARDs. You can use PFCKIT, and then buy TMDSCNCD28069MISO card and it will behave just as if you bought INSPIN

    3. Yes. So is the PFCKIT. They are identical inverters.

    4. Yes.

  • Thank you for this excellent explanation.  I was having this same problem in deciding which kit to buy.
