BLDC-SHIELD_IFX007T - Infineon Technologies

Overview

Hardware Compatible with Arduino

This motor control shield is a high current motor control board compatible with Arduino and Infineon’s XMC4700 Boot Kit. It is equipped with three smart MOTIX IFX007T half-bridges. 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). It is also possible to drive a BLDC motor equipped with hall sensors. The integrated IFX007T half-bridges can be controlled by a PWM via the IN Pin. Interface to a microcontroller is easy thanks to 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.
