IFX007T NovalithIC™ based DC motor control shield for Arduino.

Library of Infineon's BLDC motor control shield for Arduino IDE. Refer also to the Board manual.

The (Brushless) 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.

• 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
• 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.)
