The MDL-BDC24 is powered by the ARM® Cortex™-M3-based LM3S2616 microcontroller that provides efficient and deterministic performance while integrating CAN, UART, and advanced motion control capabilities. TheMDL-BDC24 design also incorporates several high-quality analog components from Texas Instruments, including the SN65HVD1050 CAN Transceiver, MAX3221 RS232 Line Driver/Receiver, TPS54040 Swift DC/DC Converter, TPS73633 Voltage Regulator, and INA193 Current Shunt Monitor. The MDL-BDC24 is positioned into a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications, including factory automation devices and systems, mobile robots, household appliances, pumping and ventilation systems, and electric wheelchairs and mobility devices.
Module Contents:
The MDL-BDC24 ships with the motor control module encased in plastic. For a complete, open-tooled reference design kit, including motor, cables, and CD containing design files, quickstart, and firmware development package, please see the Stellaris RDK-BDC24.
