Part Number: SF2-MC-STARTER-KIT
SmartFusion2 Dual-axis Motor Control Starter Kit
Features
- Multi-axis deterministic motor control on a single system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable gate array (FPGA)
- Efficient, reliable, and safe drive with product longevity.
- A compact solution which saves board space and reduces product size.
- Motor performance is tested for speeds exceeding 100,000 RPM for sensorless field oriented control (FOC).
- The low latency of ~2 µs for FOC loop from ADC measurement to PWM generation allows switching frequencies up to 500 kHz.
- Design flexibility with modular IP suite.
- Has advanced safety features like "Rotor slip and overload detection "and "Overcurrent protection".
- SoC integration of system functions to lower 'Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)'

Overview
Microchip offers an easy-to-use hardware platform on which IPs can be easily implemented.
Microchip SmartFusion 2 Dual-Axis deterministic starter kit gives designers a great starting point for evaluating time-saving, proven motor control reference designs. This kit is supplied with hardware and software IP blocks, and a fully integrated solution along with a powerful, easy-to-use GUI that enables users to quickly prototype. The kit also supports various communication interfaces including Ethernet, CAN, RS485, USB, and others. SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs feature stronger design security than other FPGAs and include differential power analysis (DPA) resistant anti-tamper measures using technology licensed from Cryptography Research Incorporated (CRI). The security architecture was designed with a layered approach in mind, building on top of a foundation of secure hardware.
