Newark element14 launches motor control development kit

CHICAGO, USA: As part of its growing development kit offering, Newark element14 has partnered with Freescale to launch the MagniV S12ZVML-MINIBRD variable speed motor control development kit.

The board was designed for engineers and hobbyists requiring a single-board solution to drive low-voltage variable-speed BLDC/PMSM motors using Trapezoidal or Field Oriented Control.

The new S12ZVML-MINIBRD provides a low-cost and easy-to-use motor control evaluation and development platform. The kit includes both the hardware and software needed to get a variable-speed motor up and running quickly with the included software libraries and development tools. It is ideal for Sensorless BLDC or PMSM motor control as well as Bidirectional DC motors (H-Bridge).
