MCUs for next-generation motor control applications

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the PSOC Control C3 MCUs from Infineon Technologies. The MCUs combine power and performance, enabling designers to bring the next generation of industrial solutions to the market. Developed specifically for motor control applications, the product line is ideal for EV charging, industrial motor control, robotics, server and telecom PSUs, and smart home appliances.

These MCUs feature an Arm Cortex-M33-based core, providing real-time control for high-performance motor control applications. A 12-bit, 12-Msps ADC with true synchronous 'idle' sampling of up to 16 analogue signals delivers results up to 25% faster without sampling jitter. Meanwhile, a CORDIC Accelerator can switch off the CPU and increase computational power for real-time, critical tasks. The MCUs also integrate a programmable timer/counter pulse-width modulator (TCPWM) with a Motion Interface (MOTIF) block, which can be used to communicate motor control signals. These dedicated subsystems enable the PSOC MCU to reduce the system BOM while improving the performance of next-generation products. The MCUs are PSA Certified Level 2, featuring advanced security features such as cryptography, secure boot, and processing isolation. They are delivered with ready-to-use code examples and development tools supported in the ModusToolbox software suite.

Infineon Technologies offers two development kits for the PSOC Control C3 MCUs. The PSOC Control C3M5 Evaluation Kit is for developing motor control solutions using PSOC Control C3. The kit includes a PSOC Control C3M5 EVK board, a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable, jumper wires, and a quick start guide. The PSOC Control C3M5 Complete System Motor Control Kit offers a C3M5 motor control card for developing motor control solutions in combination with power stage evaluation boards.
