NEC Electronics has announced the release of its new starter kit for low voltage motor control applications (MC-LVKIT), a comprehensive and easy to use starter kit designed to support NEC Electronics' range of 8- and 32-bit motor control specific microcontrollers.
Targeted specifically at motor control applications, the MC-LVKIT is a complete evaluation kit which allows designers to demonstrate and evaluate the CPU and motor control functions of 78K0 (µPD78F0714) and V850ES/IK1 (µPD70F3329) microcontrollers.
Scalability is guaranteed with the ability to add other microcontroller boards in the future including V850/KJ1+, V850E/IA4 and 78K0 Inverter control.
- The hardware platform consists of a 12V brushless DC motor, low voltage inverter module, I/O board, and a microcontroller board.
- The complete system can be connected to a PC via a serial interface or operated in stand alone mode.
- It is also capable of being connected to NEC Electronics' software development tools for evaluation and debugging purposes.
- The low voltage inverter module can be used for low voltage motor applications that require drive capability for motors up to 24 volts.
- It can be used for evaluating 3-phase asynchronous or synchronous motor control applications.
- The I/O board has on-board user interface hardware for operational control and signal conditioning between the MCU and the low voltage inverter module.
- With this modular approach, a user can easily evaluate NEC Electronics' 8- and 32-bit motor control MCUs.
