"The PAC5232's high level of integration including 180V gate drivers for 3-phase control, a 160V Buck DC/DC controller, configurable analog front-end, embedded ARM© Cortex®-M0 core coupled with Active-Semi's Total Hibernate Mode™ and other patented features, delivers the smallest high-voltage system design at the highest system efficiency," says David Briggs, Vice-President and General Manager at Active-Semi. "We are excited about the rapidly expanding customer base that is now ramping into production with PAC5232.
In a small 8mm x 8mm QFN package, the PAC5232 IC includes many features for added customer value. Battery-powered applications up to 160V can use the onboard Buck DC/DC controller thereby reducing system BOM, PCB size and cost. In addition, the four onboard LDOs further simplify system power management. These sophisticated and highly configurable functions make PAC5232 an ideal single-IC solution.
The PAC5232EVK extend the family of evaluation kits (EVKs) to enable fast prototyping with the PAC5232 IC. Along with Active-Semi's motor control firmware and IP library, the PAC5232 will simplify system development with sensored and sensorless FOC and sensorless trapezoidal motor control applications for high-voltage battery powered applications.
PAC5232 is available from leading distributors. For more information on PAC® products, Active-Semi®evaluation kits, PAC® Software Development Kit (SDK) and motor control firmware IP, visit https://active-semi.com/products/intelligent-motor-control.
