Microcontrollers can lower system BoM costs

This high-performance Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller family enables designers to deliver the market innovations customers expect from their next-generation devices.

They are in stock at authorised distributor DigiKey.

The PSOC Control C3 enables real-time control of motor and power conversion systems that need to respond to real-time events with minimal delay and low utilization.

It utilizes fast analogue and digital peripherals to support wide-bandgap (WBG) systems and has integrated features to reduce system BOM costs. The PSOC Control C3 MCUs are PSA Certified Level 2 for advanced security and safety and come with ready-to-use code examples and development tools supported in the ModusToolbox software suite.

This latest family of microcontrollers will increase performance and efficiency for next-generation products.

Advanced features of the PSOC Control microcontroller include the high-performance ADC and an integrated coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) accelerator.

With true synchronous idle sampling of up to 16 analog signals from the single-core ADC, up to 25% faster results are possible without any sampling jitter. The CORDIC accelerator can off-load CPU and increase computational power for real-time critical tasks such as field-oriented motor control algorithms.

In addition, the programmable timer/counter pulse-width modulator (TCPWM) has a motion interface (MOTIF) block that can be used to communicate motor control signals. This unique combination of power and performance will bring the next generation of industrial solutions to market.

PSOC Control is supported in ModusToolbox Software, a modern, extensible development ecosystem provided as a collection of development tools, libraries, and embedded runtime assets.

The ModusToolbox Industrial technology pack installs the ModusToolbox Motor Suite, a comprehensive software solution designed to simplify and accelerate the development of motor control systems.

With its intuitive interface and robust features, the Motor Suite provides a seamless experience for engineers and developers to design, test, and optimize motor control applications.

Applications include HVAC, power tools, industrial automation, server and telecom switched mode power supplies (SMPS), solar inverter, light electric vehicles, EV charging, smart home and home appliances and industrial motor control
