Toshiba has got together with development board maker Mikroe to create a platform for its TB9M003FG automotive three-phase motor control and driver IC.
AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified, the IC has a 32bit 40MHz Arm Cortex-M0 CPU and a vector co-processor for sensorless vector control, as well as gate-drivers to control external n-channel mosfets.
AEC-Q101 qualified mosfets are included on the board, as are the rest of the components needed to drive both brushless dc or permanent magnet synchronous motors, and it can be connected to external higher-power inverter components to drive larger motors.
It measures 130 x 73mm and “switches and potentiometers for operational testing”, said Toshiba. “An on-board debug unit, based on a TMPM067FWQG, is compliant with the CMSIS-DAP on-board emulator standard and enables testing and debugging of the target device.”
Use is foreseen developing pumps, fans, body control and thermal management systems.
