New ecosystem for developing motor control
solutions combines hardware, software and power modules for rapid
development
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq:ON), driving energy efficient
innovations, has introduced its advanced and flexible Motor
Development Kit to accelerate the development of more efficient
motor control solutions for applications ranging from less than 1
kW to over 10 kW.
Electric motors account for over half of all the power generated
and consumed by industrialized countries. The majority of those
motors are AC induction motors, which have an average efficiency of
just 44%. In order to improve efficiency, motor drive designers
must understand how these and other types of motors operate under
all load conditions, and intelligently compensating for variable
conditions. The Motor Development Kit addresses the urgent need for
improved energy usage.
The Motor Development Kit (MDK) comprises one of a growing
number of Power Boards, connected to a Universal Controller Board
(UCB). The Power Boards feature various incarnations of ON
Semiconductor inverter solutions for motor drive, from high voltage
integrated modules to low voltage, discrete MOSFETs. The UCB is a
common control platform that interfaces with any Power Board to
enable engineers to evaluate alternative motor control techniques
for various types of motors and at a wide variety of power
levels.
Intelligent motor control requires a flexible and programmable
approach. The UCB is based on the Zynq®-7000 SoC family from
Xilinx, Inc. This powerful device integrates two ARM® Cortex™-A9
processor cores alongside an FPGA fabric, providing the optimum
combination of software and hardware configuration. The board also
features a 10-channel differential ADC, 12 PWM channels and a
number of configurable digital peripherals. Communication ports
include USB, JTAG and UART, as well as a Gigabit Ethernet PHY.
Efficient motor control represents a major focus of ON
Semiconductor. The company is applying its extensive experience and
large portfolio of discrete devices, Intelligent Power Modules
(IPMs) and Transfer Molded Power Integrated Modules (TM PIMs) to
increase efficiency. The MDK brings together its expertise and
technologies to help engineers quickly develop solutions that
deliver greater energy efficiency, in any application that uses
electric motors.
ON Semiconductor's MDK provides an 'out of the box' experience
for evaluating variable speed motor inverter solutions. To enable
this, the modular ecosystem includes the UCB and a number of power
evaluation boards, developed using ON Semiconductor's best in class
power components. Support for software development comes from
Xilinx in the form of the Vivado® Design Suite for High-Level
Synthesis. The UCB can also be programmed using Python, through
Xilinx's open source project, PYNQ.
“ON Semiconductor already offers a broad portfolio of power
solutions optimized for variable motor control,” said Ali Husain,
Sr. Manager, Corporate Strategy & Marketing at ON
Semiconductor. “The Motor Development Kit brings these technologies
together into a single ecosystem that can really help design teams
accelerate the process of developing more efficient motor control
solutions.”
“Optimizing energy efficiency in motors has an enormous impact
on the carbon footprint of factories and industrial equipment
across the planet,” said Chetan Khona, director, Industrial,
Vision, Healthcare & Sciences at Xilinx. “Technology from ON
Semiconductor together with high-performance motor control in
Xilinx Zynq SoCs reduces operational cost drastically, offers the
most adaptability for user customization, and makes a positive
contribution to the environment. The new Motor Development Kit from
ON Semiconductor makes this accessible and facilitates migration
from prototype to production.”
The MDK currently supports two motor power boards; the
SECO-1KW-MCTRL-GEVB, which is suitable for driving motors up to 1
kW, and the SECO-MDK-4KW-65SMP31-GEVB, for driving motors up to 4
kW. Both of these power boards use ON Semiconductor's IPM
technology and will be available in Q4, 2020. An additional motor
power board will be released in Q1, 2021 based on ON
Semiconductor's TMPIM technology, designed to drive motors up to 10
kW. Expect further power boards and expanded design support to be
added to the MDK ecosystem.
