RDK-BLDC: 3-Ph BLDC, 32Bit Motor Control, 14A

The Brushless DC Motor Control Reference Design Kit (RDK-BLDC) is a four-quadrant motor control for three-phase brushless DC motors rated at up to 36 V. Key features of the RDK include complete CAN and Ethernet communications interfaces, a powerful 32-bit Stellaris microcontroller, and embedded software to optimally control a wide range of motors in diverse applications.

Stellaris Reference design kits (RDKs) accelerate product development by providing ready-to-run hardware, a typical motor, and comprehensive documentation including hardware design files. Designers without prior motor control experience can successfully implement a sophisticated motor control system using the RDK-BLDC.

Integrated 10/100 Ethernet connects the RDK-BLDC to an array of network options—from dedicated industrial networks to worldwide control and monitoring over the internet.
