12V motor control targets automotive applications

It is a purpose-built motor control efficiency improvement solution for software-defined vehicle edge nodes to optimize automotive vehicle applications like pumps, fans, sunroof and seat position, seat belt pre-tensioners, trunk openers and more.

The S32M2 integrates high-voltage analogue functionalities with a robust embedded microcontroller core, optimizing motor control of body and comfort applications while improving efficiency and enhancing occupant comfort.

Through compatibility with the NXP S32 Automotive Platform, the S32M2 family enables seamless firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates, software reuse, and flexibility.

Key features include the platform-based design of motor control edge nodes, which will allow faster time to market, advanced data analysis capabilities, inverter/motor diagnostic capabilities, and advanced algorithms to minimize in-cabin noise.

With attention to cost at the system level, S32M2 integrates voltage regulators, pulse-width modulators, analogue-to-digital converters, timers, and non-volatile memory to reduce overall component count and reduce board space in a 64-pin LQFP-EP package.

The S32M2 ensures high-performance and functional safety compliance with ISO 26262 up to ASIL B and supports OEM migration to smaller, lightweight and more efficient BLDC/PMSM motors for energy savings and range extension of electric vehicles.

Mouser also stocks NXP Semiconductors S32M2 PMSM/BLDC motor control evaluation boards. The S32M24x integrated solution provides a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 S32K1 microcontroller and an analog die with a voltage regulator, gate driver, current sensing, and LIN/CAN physical layer in a system-in-package (SiP) format.

The boards utilize MCSPTE1AK344 application software, which includes the Automotive Math and Motor Control Library (AMMCLib) set, plus the Real-Time Drivers (RTD) software package. This application software supplies a complete reference implementation for both 3-phase BLDC and PMSM motor control.
