Toshiba Electronics Europe TMPM4KxF10AxxG

All devices in Toshiba’s M4K and M4M groups features an Arm^® Cortex^®-M4 core running up to 160MHz, integrated code flash and 32KB data flash memory with 100K program/erase cycle endurance.

The devices integrate a programmable motor driver (A-PMD), 32-bit advanced encoder (A-ENC), an advanced vector engine (A-VE+) and a maximum of three channels of high-speed and high-resolution 12-bit analog/digital converters. As a result, these devices are ideally suited for field-oriented control (FOC) of up to three AC motors, brushless DC (BLDC) motors and multiple types of inverter control such as variable frequency drives or servo drives.

Key features

• Vector engine offloading CPU from field oriented control algorithm
• Connected motor control peripherals reduce interrupt load
• Dual area code flash allows for simultaneous code execution while updating the firmware
• Analog integration with 12-bit ADCs and operational amplifiers

Additional features

Advantages

• Instructions can be read and executed from one area, while the updated code is programmed into the other area simultaneously (1MB version only).
• High efficient field-oriented control (FOC) for up to 3 motors by one single MCU.
• Sensorless Vector Control of BLCD and AC motors
   

Benefits

• Firmware can be updated without interrupting microcontroller operation (1MB version only).
• FOC motor control saves energy (CO2 reduction) / longer battery operation.
• High scalability due to memory variations (128KB/256KB/512KB/1MB) and 5 package options.

Applications

• Power tools, lawn mowers
• Home appliances (robot cleaner, Air-Con, refrigerator)
• Variable frequency drives (robots, cobots, AGV)
• Industrial inverter (pumps, HVAC, heat pumps, servo drives)

Available tools

Evaluation Kit (Created in partnership with MikroElektronika)
