DAVE Bench and DAVE Drive legacy

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.

• Motor types: BLDC, PMSM, Induction motor
• BLDC Control algorithm:
  • Sinusoidal Commutation: Sensorless Field Oriented Control (Single shunt current measurement)
  • Trapezoidal commutation using HALL sensors and Sensorless BEMF Zero Crossing detection
• Induction motor Control algorithm:
• V/Hz Openloop Speed control
• Microcontrollers:
  • 8-bit XC800: XC878CLM, XC888CLM, XC886CLM, XC866, XC864, XC824, XC836
  • 16-bit XE166 microcontroller series: XE164F (Classic Series), XE162FN (N Series), XE162FM (N Series), XE161FL (L Series)
• Flexibly generates optimized code and is not based on static libraries
• Supports user specific motor & Power board configurations
• Configures Infineon’s powerful and flexible motor control peripherals
• Includes User Manuals & Algorithm parameter calculations
• Helps designers to quickly and easily implement advanced motor control techniques on low-cost components
• Is pre-configured for Infineon’s  3-phase high voltage Motor Drive Applications Kit ( KIT_AK_3PHASE_DRIVE_V1 ) and the low voltage DAvE Drive Application Kit ( KIT_AK_DaveDrive_V3 )  

Easy to use:

DAVE™ Bench is based on Eclipse and it is tailored for fast success and ease of use:

• Active project defines the project in the workspaces for clear assignments of operations like build, debug, edit,….
• A dedicated interface to DAVE™ allows easy import of code generated by DAVE and tow switch between both tools. To use all new features the most recent version of DAVE should be downloaded
• Easy search and access to online project examples right from DAVE™ Bench
• Automatic update of DAVE™ features from an Infineon server
• DAVE™ Bench specific help documentation including a quick start video tutorial
• Online information update and technical support

Complete:

DAVE™ Bench provides complete set of development tools and utilities:

• SDCC compiler optimized for XC800 family with a complete library and an easy to use build management
• HiTOP Eclipse Debugger for convenient level 1 debugging. All Infineon HW kits are supported including miniWiggler, USB Wiggler and Drive Monitor
• Instruction set simulator for testing of algorithms.
• FLOAD is a Flash loader to download the hex code to the target via JTAG, UART-BSL or LIN-BSL
• U-SPY is a UART terminal program to supporting message filter, send messages and to visualize received data including a digital oscilloscope.
