Enhance Motor Control with versatile FPGAs

FPGA based motor controller for full customization

In combination with the right power electronics an FPGA can perform every switching task that is required for your processes.

Benefits are:

  • customizable interface to Host controller/CPU
  • appicable to every power, voltage and current ratings
  • can be extended by every feature that is required for the process (e.g. data acquisistion and closed loop control)
  • fast and independent of other processes (parallel computation)

The FBC3-080 Board

…is a small FPGA based motor controller. It is able to switch up to 80V and fast switching MOSFETs with extremely low resistance (R_DS(on)). Position sensors and encoders can be connected as well as an on-board ADC can acquire external signals.

FBC3-080: FPGA based 3-phase motor controller up to 80V

Features

POWER

  • 3 half-bridges
  • 80V, ultra low R_DS(on)
  • suitable for high switching frequencies (>100kHz)

SYNC

  • 13 IO for sync processes
  • 1 general purpose full differential ADC channel
  • custom trigger time lags down to 10ns

SMALL FORM FACTOR

High power and high flexibility on less than 60mm x 40mm are unique. Use this board on mobile and robotic applications where space is limited.

MODULARITY

  • implementation of custom functions
  • no influence on existing timing specifications
  • parallel computation of algorithms
  • ideal for safety relevant/critical functions

The versatility of FPGAs allows any customization regarding your needs. Let us get in touch to find out how it can improve your application.
