Why Attend?

The embedded market is currently ablaze with IoT (Internet of Things) concepts. The opportunity to remotely monitor and manage countless motorized appliances in the home and beyond can now be realized from the comfort of our armchairs, workplaces or further afield.

The latest member of the fast emerging Kinetis V series of ARM® Cortex®-M class MCUs from NXP– the Kinetis KV5x MCU family is well equipped to handle the demands of multi-motor applications.

Features:

  • multiple timers,
  • four high-speed ADCs (sampling at up to 5 Msps)
  • 240MHz capable Cortex-M7 core
  • fully independent sensor-less control of two 3-phase motors
  • secure internet connectivity via its on-chip Ethernet
  • multiple CAN and UARTs
  • encryption modules

Attend this webinar so you can rest easy, with the understanding of the new Kinetis KV5x MCU that leverages the latest ARM technology to bring motor control to the IoT era.

Part 1: Motor Control Made Easy with Kinetis MCUs

Watch now

Why Watch?

Specialized engineers have been developing motor control solutions using MCUs for decades, but NXP has simplified motor control design to make it easier than ever for you to get started right away. Learn about the Kinetis Motor Suite (KMS), a software solution that simplifies the design and accelerates the development of motor control applications. KMS consists of 4 main components:

  • motor tuner,
  • motor manager,
  • motor observer, and
  • open source reference solution that improves overall motor system performance.

Designed for developers of all experience levels, KMS enables rapid development via the graphical user interface, allowing those with limited or no motor control experience to develop an application.
