NXP Semiconductors MCSPTE1AK344 Motor Control Development Kit

NXP Semiconductors MCSPTE1AK344 Motor Control Development Kit is designed for Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor control and 3-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) control. This development kit is based on a 32-bit Arm^® Cortex^®-M7 S32K3 microcontroller and the GD3000 pre-driver. The MCSPTE1AK344 development kit enables rapid prototyping and evaluation of BLDC and PMSM control applications up to ISO 26262 ASIL D. This motor control development kit also features FS26 safety system basis chip, DEVKIT-MOTORGD, and S32K3X4EVB-Q172. Typical applications of the MCSPTE1AK344 kit include Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), electric pumps, active suspension, electric powertrain, eTurbo, and belt start generator.
