Specifications & Design Targets:

  • Up to 24V operation
  • 30A continuous current at stall, 50A+ peak phase current (transiently)
  • Three-phase inline current sensing
  • Phase voltage sensing for sensorless commutation
  • On board encoder (MA702) to enable sensored FOC operation without any external components
  • RS485 interface for sensor communication (capable of SSI over RS485 for external absolute encoder)
  • CAN and serial interfaces for control
  • 5V tolerant GPIO for interfacing with hall effect sensors
  • Convenient form factor for mounting into a compact BLDC actuator design
  • FETs located specifically for ease of cooling
  • XT60 for power and MR60 for phase connections
  • Specifically tuned for low ripple at a switching frequency of 24kHz
