Infineon Technologies has announced the Motix motor control kit, presents a complete system solution for motor control. The motor control kit is useful for application in auxiliary pumps, cooling fans, HVAC blowers, or in any other application that uses 3-phase low voltage BLDC motors.

The pre-assembled kit provides everything needed to get the motor spinning in a matter of seconds: a market-proven chipset combined with pre-flashed sample software as well as a BLDC motor – only a power supply needs to be connected. Therefore, the motor control kit enables rapid prototyping and evaluation of low voltage motor controls.

The Motix motor control kit includes the well-known Motix TLE9879QXA40 as part of the TLE9879 EVALKIT, as well as angle (Xensiv TLE5012B-E1000) and hall switch (Xensiv TLE4968-1L) sensor PCBs along with a 3-phase BLDC motor. All components are mounted in a 3D-printed housing and are ready for evaluation. The most common types of motor control algorithms, including both sensorless or hall and/or angle sensors as well as block commutation or field-oriented control, are implemented in the pre-built sample code. This enables the designer to compare and select the most suitable algorithm depending on the application.

Complementing this eval kit, Infineon offers a complete and free of charge tool chain for software evaluation with many software examples. Several application notes and a series of online training sessions on the basics of automotive motor control support engineers in meeting various design challenges.
