BLDC-SHIELD_IFX007T

Overview

Hardware Compatible with Arduino

The (BL)DC motor control shield from Infineon technologies is a high current motor control board compatible with Arduino and Infineon’s XMC4700 Boot Kit. It is equipped with three smart IFX007T half-bridges. The BLDC motor control shield is capable to drive one BLDC motor. Alternatively, it can be used to drive one or two bi-directional DC motors (H-Bridge configuration, cascaded to support second motor) or up to three uni-directional DC motors (half-bridge configuration).The implemented integrated IFX007T NovalithIC™ half-bridges can be controlled by a PWM via the IN Pin. Interfacing to a microcontroller is made easy by the integrated driver IC which features logic level inputs, diagnosis with current sense, slew rate adjustment, and dead time generation. The three IFX007T half-bridges are also fully protected against over-temperature, under-voltage, overcurrent and short circuit events.

Summary of Features

  • Compatible with Arduino Uno R3
  • Capable of high frequency PWM e.g. 30kHz
  • Adjustable slew rates for optimized EMI by changing external resistor
  • Driver circuit with logic level inputs
  • Diagnosis with current sense
  • Protection e.g. against over-temperature and overcurrent

Benefits

  • Fast and inexpensive prototyping of (BL)DC motor control
  • Easy testing of half- and full-bridge motor control
  • Status flag diagnosis with current sense capability
  • Over-temperature shut down with latch behavior and under-voltage shut down

Potential Applications

  • Brushed and brushless DC motor control up to 300W continuous load
    • 8–40V nominal input voltage (optimized for 24V)
    • Average motor current 30A restricted due to PCB (IFX007T current limitation @ 55A min.)
  • Can be used to drive motors in various industrial applications:
    • Power Tools
    • Healthcare (e.g., hospital beds)
    • Robots
    • Pumps
    • Massage chairs
    • Fans
    • Multicopter
    • CAV
    • Vacuum cleaners
    • Home & garden
    • 3D printer
    • Industrial automation
    • And many more…
