Toshiba launches tmpm4k development board for motor control
2022-08-11
         The mikroe clicker 4 development board for Toshiba m4k MCU combines the clicker 4 inverter expansion board, which is a simple and cost-effective solution for testing BLDC motor control scenarios. Tmpm4k dedicated clicker 4 comes with an on-board debugger, and no external debugger is required. Its four mikrobus ™ The socket can be connected to a variety of different mikroe click boards ™, So that more functions can be expanded. In addition, it is also equipped with expansion connector, JTAG / SWD debugging port, LED indicator and button. This board is attached with the clicker 4 inverter expansion board, which is equipped with six MOSFETs for motor driving, a switching power supply that can adjust the motor supply voltage up to 48V, and a 5V regulated power supply that can be used for the external controller board. The flexible interface on the board can obtain the positioning feedback from the hall sensor and the incremental encoder, and also has the overcurrent protection function to ensure stability and reliability.

     M4k MCU has been widely used in the whole industry, and it has been proved that it can be widely used to realize a new generation of motor control. These devices all rely on arm with floating-point operation unit (FPU) and memory protection unit (MPU) ® Cortex ®- The M4 processor core can provide an operating frequency of 160MHz and has advanced programmable motor driver (a-pmd) function and advanced vector engine (a-ve +) function for vector control purposes. Its memory resources include 256 KB of code flash memory and 32 KB of data flash memory.


       MCU motor Studio software can support tmpm4k special clicker 4 and clicker 4 inverter expansion board, which can be downloaded on Toshiba website. This software has simple design, good structure and various uses. It contains two core components: one is a motor control pc tool that can realize parameter configuration, drive control, real-time recording and diagnosis through high-speed UART, and the other is an expandable and fully configurable m4k MCU dedicated electrical control firmware.
