TMDSHVMTRINSPIN: Inquiry

Part Number: TMDSHVMTRINSPIN
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE

Hi,

Good day.

Our customer has some inquiry regarding the TMDSHVMTRINSPIN. Your inputs are greatly appreciated. Kindly refer to the inquiry below.

" I am looking at designing a motor controller for a ~48V BLDC motor for efficient travel in a prototype car. I am looking at using the MCU the same as the one in the dev kit, and anything else that seems useful. I want to be able to use sensored control initially, and move to sensorless in the future. 

 How important are the extras outlined in the packages for testing the code and its efficiency on a bldc motor of our choice? Does my application seem like it would work at all?

Also, do you have access to any example code for sensored and/or sensorless code on the MCU in that dev kit? It would be really helpful, and would probably seal the deal in our purchase of this dev kit.

Thank you.


Regards,

Cedrick

  • TMDSHVMTRINSPIN is better for a high voltage motor. The customer should use the DRV8301-69M-KIT for the 48V BLDC.

    That depends on the requirement of the application. The sensorless-FOC should be ok if the motor doesn't need to run at low speed with a full load, otherwise, the sensored-foc is recommended.

    Also, do you have access to any example code for sensored and/or sensorless code on the MCU in that dev kit? It would be really helpful, and would probably seal the deal in our purchase of this dev kit.

    You might ask your customer to take a look at the following link. There are some example codes for sensored-foc and sensorless-foc supporting different kits in motorWare or motorControl SDK.
