Active8 in stock

Overview

The ACT72350EVK1 is an evaluation kit for the ACT72350 high-voltage motor controller and driver power management IC. It is designed to evaluate brushless DC (BLDC) and permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control systems operating within a wide voltage range of 25V to 160V. The kit showcases the integration of a configurable power manager, analog front-end, and application-specific power drivers for high-performance motor applications.

Why Choose This Part

The system supports high-voltage operation up to 160V and features a Configurable Analog Front-End (CAFE) for flexible sensor interfacing. It includes robust protection logic like cycle-by-cycle current limiting and programmable over-current protection across six comparators. The highly integrated nature reduces component count by combining switching regulators, LDOs, and motor drivers into a single solution.

Applications

Industrial Pump and Fan Control
Efficient control of high-voltage BLDC motors used in industrial ventilation and fluid transport systems.
Robotic Actuators
Precise motor driving for high-torque robotic joints and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
Power Tools
High-voltage battery-powered professional tools requiring integrated safety and power management.

Getting Started

To begin evaluation, connect the board to a motor and a DC power supply between 25V and 160V. Configuration is typically handled via the provided GUI software through the I2C or SPI interface, and firmware development can be performed using the SWD or JTAG headers for the embedded controller. Refer to the user guide for details on setting the break-before-make (BBM) safety timings and current limit thresholds.
