R9A02G020-EVK

The Renesas RISC-V Motor Control Kit is based on RISC-V ASSP R9A02G0204 MCU board.

The kit enables engineers to easily test and evaluate the performance of the RISC-V-based ASSP for motor control in a laboratory environment when driving any 3-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (e.g., AC Brushless Motor) using an advanced sensorless Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm. Typical applications for this type of solution are compressors, air conditioning, fans, air extractors, pumps, home appliances inverters and industrial drives.

The phase current measurement is done via three shunts which offers a low-cost solution, avoiding the need for an expensive current sensor or hall sensor.

The powerful user-friendly PC Graphical User Interface (GUI) gives real-time access to key motor performance parameters and provides a unique motor auto-tuning facility. Furthermore, it becomes also possible to select the best switching frequency and control frequency (e.g., control loop) to adapt the control dynamics suitable to the application requirements.

The board can be powered directly from the USB port of a Host PC for demo purposes due to limited power, but connectors are provided to utilize external power supplies for full power solutions.

The RISC-V board is an ideal tool to check out all the key performance parameters of your selected motor, before embarking on an end application system design.
