DAVE™ Drive … Turns your motor with a few mouse clicks

Application Code Generator for Motor Control

New version V1.9.1 available for free download!
This version includes new devices support for XE161 and it includes the generation of a ready to use reference project with extended capabilities to influence the control algorithm.

The DAVE™ Drive auto-code generator provides application code for a complete motor control system:

DAVE™ Drive:

• shortens the evaluation time for motor control developers significantly as the motor control code can be generated via a GUI instead of handwriting some thousands lines of code

• gives hardware engineers easy access to electronic systems

• Uses the full power of Infineon’s microcontroller, e.g. it generates optimized algorithm code for devices which usually requires expert knowledge in both motor control and assembler programming.

By making DAVE™ Drive available as a free download, customers of all sizes can quickly implement advanced motor control techniques using Infineon’s powerful components for motor control.
