Three-Phase Brushless/PMSM Low Current Motor Control Solution with InstaSPIN Software
Texas Instruments
This reference design demonstrates a motor control solution for spinning medium voltage three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) and brushless AC (BLAC) motors- often referred to as permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) - featuring the C2000™ InstaSPIN™ TMS320F28069M microcontroller and the DRV8312 3-phase motor driver. The reference design features InstaSPIN-FOC field oriented control technology and InstaSPIN-MOTION speed and position control technology. With Texas Instruments’ InstaSPIN technologies: designers of all skill levels can implement a high-performance: power efficient: cost-effective: sensorless field-oriented control platform with robust movement capabilities. Applications include sub-50V and 3.5A synchronous motors for driving pumps: gates: lifts: fans: as well as both industrial and consumer robotics and automation.
