Infineon Technologies Mobile Robot Motor Control Demo Boards

Introduction

The Infineon Technologies Mobile Robot Motor Control Demo Boards, specifically the DEMO_IMR_MTRCTRL_V1, serve as an innovative platform for demonstrating autonomous service robot functionalities. These boards are designed to control motors for movement, enabling robots to perform various tasks efficiently.

Part Description

The DEMO_IMR_MTRCTRL_V1 is a compact and high-efficiency motor controller that integrates advanced components to facilitate robotic movement. It features the MOTIX™ IMD701A fully programmable motor controller, which combines an XMC1404 microcontroller with a MOTIX™ 6EDL7141 3-phase gate driver IC. This integration significantly reduces the bill of materials (BOM) and allows for more compact designs. Additionally, the DEMO_IMR_ANGLE_SENS_V1 includes a 360° magnetic angle sensor, the XENSIV™ TLE5012B E1000, which accurately detects the orientation of a magnetic field, providing essential feedback for motor control.
