New: HVC5x Microcontroller for NTMicroDrive

NTMicroDrive Safety Software

ASIL A Ready Software Stack for Micronas Embedded Motor Controllers

With our NTMicroDrive and the new HVC5x microcontroller from TDK Micronas
you can optimize direct control for BLDC motors (up to 25 watts):

- Double flash memory
- Double motor current
- More compact housing
- Better availability
- Optimized motor control

NTMicroDrive is a close-to-production and highly flexible, customizable firmware with
sophisticated communication, monitoring and power management functions.
functions. The software stack with minimal resource consumption enables complex
motor control algorithms for Brushless DC Motors (BLDC), Six-Step Commutation with
or without sensor feedback. The motor controller supports the control of speed and
position.

NTMicroDrive Enterprise-Board

HVC 5422D based Embedded Motor Control

The NTMicroDrive Enterprise-Board is a development and production ready plat- form that permits the direct control of brushless DC motors (up to 25 watt). The mo- tor control is empowered by the TDK Micronas HVC 5422D Motor Controller. Next to the motor driver part is an USB/LIN-Adapter for rapid prototyping. Both parts can be separated and used independently.

For commercial applications the NTMicroDrive Software Stack together with the HVC 5422D Motor controller provides a ready-to-use solution.

The NTMicroDrive Development Kit includes the necessary motor controller hardware (NTMicroDrive Enterprise-Board), NTMicroDrive Demo Software for motor control and a PC GUI for fast evaluation and prototyping.

Customer Benefits

• The NTMicroDrive Enterprise-Board provides a complete, high-quality design environment for motor applications.
• Usable for the different types of motors, only with parameter change.
• The development kit helps to simplify the design process and reduce time to market.
• Ready-to-use Demo-Software

Typical applications

Control of brushless (BLDC) motors up to 25 watt, e. g.

• Grill shutter
