IFX007T NovalithIC™ based DC motor control
Library of Infineon's BLDC motor control shield for Arduino IDE. Refer also to the Board manual.
The (Brushless) DC motor control shield from Infineon technologies is a high current motor control board compatible with Arduino and Infineon’s XMC4700 Boot Kit. It is equipped with three smart IFX007T half-bridges. The BLDC motor control shield is capable to drive one BLDC motor. Alternatively, it can be used to drive one or two bi-directional DC motors (H-Bridge configuration, cascaded to support second motor) or up to three uni-directional DC motors (half-bridge configuration).The implemented integrated IFX007T NovalithIC™ half-bridges can be controlled by a PWM via the IN Pin. Interfacing to a microcontroller is made easy by the integrated driver IC which features logic level inputs, diagnosis with current sense, slew rate adjustment, and dead time generation. The three IFX007T half-bridges are also fully protected against over-temperature, under-voltage, overcurrent and short circuit events.
- Compatible with Arduino Uno R3
- Capable of high frequency PWM e.g. 30kHz
- Adjustable slew rates for optimized EMI by changing external resistor
- Driver circuit with logic level inputs
- Diagnosis with current sense
- Protection e.g. against over-temperature and overcurrent
- Brushed and brushless DC motor control up to 300W continuous load
- 8–40V nominal input voltage (optimized for 24V)
- Average motor current 30A restricted due to PCB (IFX007T current limitation @ 55A min.)
