CY8CKIT-037

Overview

CY8CKIT-037 PSoC™ 4 Motor Control Evaluation Kit

The CY8CKIT-037 is used for PSoC™ 4 solution evaluation for motor control application. The kit supports BLDC (BrushLess Direct Current) motors, PMSM (Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motors) and stepper motors. We provide example projects including single-shunt and sensorless FOC (Field Oriented Control), sensored BLDC control, sensorless BLDC control and stepper motor control example projects.

The CY8CKIT-037 kit has been specifically designed to mate with our popular PSoC™ 4 CY8CKIT-042 pioneer kit. To get PSoC™ 4 CY8CKIT-042 kit, visit here.

CY8CKIT-037 kit can also work with latest PSoC™ 4500S Pioneer kit (CY8CKIT-045S) for a motor control evaluation platform. Code example of Sensorless FOC (Field-Oriented Control) Motor Control based on CY8CKIT-045S and CY8CKIT-037 can be found with AN93637.

Easily design different BLDC motor control systems

  • Reference design: supports simple to advanced BLDC motor implementations; including FOC (Field Oriented Control), sensored and sensorless BLDC motor control  implementation
  • Kit: one development kit to prototype four different BLDC motor control techniques
  • Tool: PSoC™ Creator IDE allows concurrent hardware and software design

  • PSoC™ 4 integrates MCU and opamps
  • PSoC™ 4 operating range of 1.71-5.5V eliminates the need for an onboard regulator
  • PSoC™ 4 solution simplifies dual shunt FOC design by eliminating one current shunt and one opamp

  • The solution provides the advanced FOC (Field Oriented Control) algorithm
  • PSoC™ 4 enables reliable 5V design without external components
  • Perform hardware-based commutation using high reliability programmable hardware to offload CPU
