Renesas Electronics America expands RX MCU support with a BLDC motor-control kit for energy-efficient applications

Renesas Electronics America recently announced a new motor-control kit, expanding support for its RX62T microcontroller (MCU) Group. Featuring a single precision floating point unit (FPU) and high-performance RX CPU core, the RX62T MCU Group was designed for implementing high-efficiency motor control required by white goods such as washers/dryers and refrigerators, HVAC equipment and industrial control systems such as industrial drives, servo control, multi-axis handlers and motion control applications. The RX62T-based motor-control kit is a complete end-to-end solution that will allow engineers to learn more about sensor-less vector control algorithms, evaluate the performance using a graphical user interface (GUI) and implement sensor-less vector control in their applications. Features include RX62T MCU, with a high-performance 165 DMIPS at 100 MHz RX core, IEEE 754-compliant FPU, 5V supply voltage for excellent noise immunity and on-chip PGAs.
