Analog Devices Inc. TMC9660-3PH-EVKIT & TMC9660-STP-EVKIT Eval Kits
Analog Devices TMC9660-3PH-EVKIT and TMC9660-STP-EVKIT Evaluation Kits include one Landungsbrücke board, one Eselsbrücke board, and one TMC9660-3PH-EVAL or TMC9660-STP-EVAL driver board. The kits allow a quick and simple start within minutes to make the motor turn while providing full access to all registers and full functionality/diagnostics. The TMC9660-3PH-EVKIT and TMC9660-STP-EVKIT are part of the ADI Trinamic evaluation board system. The 70V/10A permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM)/brushless DC (BLDC) evaluation kits allow the evaluation of the TMC9660. The TMC9660 is a highly integrated monolithic motor controller and gate driver IC for three-phase BLDC motors, two-phase bipolar stepper motors, and DC motors.
The TMC9660-3PH-EVKIT and TMC9660-STP-EVKIT focus on using three-phase BLDC motors, with the possibility of using ABN encoders or digital hall sensors as position feedback mechanisms. The board allows simultaneous control of a brake chopper and an electromechanical brake through the unused fourth half-bridge.
