Developed to shorten the time-to-market when using electronic motor control for brushless motors, the FalconEye reference platform uses a 16-bit digital-signal controller (56F8013) from Freescale Semiconductor with integrated DSP functionality in conjunction with analogue components for electrically isolated current measurement from Avago Technologies. The 300V brushless direct-current motor provided with the platform is driven with the FSBB15CH60 smart power module from Fairchild Semiconductor. It is already equipped with a second shaft extension for an incremental encoder from Avago Technologies. Engineers can use FalconEye during the development phase and, if necessary, also receive the design documentation in order to integrate the board directly into their design. The wiring diagram and software demonstration projects are also delivered with the board. The version of FalconEye currently available has been designed for operation at standard supply voltages. However, modification of the power stage also allows the reference board to be used for other motor voltages. The board can also be converted to control brushless alternating-current motors, switched reluctance motors and induction motors.
