Analog Devices Inc. TMC6140-EVAL-KIT Evaluation Kit is a complete modular demonstration and development platform for the TMC6140 3-Phase BLDC MOSFET Gate Driver. The TMC6140 is optimized for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) and Brushless DC (BLDC) motors. Ideally suited for applications in the range of 5V to 24V, the TMC6140 supports motor power ratings from 1W to 1kW. The device is designed to work with a single external power supply rail. All required supply voltages are generated internally based on the motor supply.
The ADI TMC6140-EVAL-KIT Evaluation Kit includes the TMC6140-EVAL Board, the Landungsbrücke Microcontroller Board, and the Eselsbrücke Connector Board. The TMC6140-EVAL Board features the TMC6140 3-Phase BLDC MOSFET Gate Driver in a QFN36 package. The TMC6140-EVAL uses the standard schematic for the TMC6140 and offers several options to test different modes of operation.
The Landungsbrücke Microcontroller Board enables connection between the TMC6140-EVAL-KIT and a PC. Users can download the latest firmware revisions, modify the firmware, or create their own and update it via USB. The code of the Landungsbrücke is open source for download.
The Eselsbrücke Connector Board acts as a bridge between the TMC6140-EVAL Board and the Landungsbrücke Microcontroller Board. The Eselsbrücke Connector Board also includes test probe points for all signals between the MCU and Evaluation Board.
The TMC6140-EVAL Board is also offered separately.
The TMCL-IDE (Analog Devices Inc. Motion Control Language – Integrated Development Environment) enables users to develop applications using ADI modules and chips. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides tools for easily setting parameters, visualizing data in real time, and developing and debugging stand-alone applications.
