Kawasaki, Japan — Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) is further strengthening its support for motor control design projects through its ecosystem of technology partners. Thanks to our expanded collaboration with MikroElektronika (MIKROE), our customers are now able to take advantage of the new evaluation platform.

Combining the MIKROE Clicker4 Development Board for Toshiba’s M4K MCU with the Clicker4 Inverter Shield is an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for experimenting with BLDC motor control scenarios. Clicker 4 for TMPM4K has an onboard debugger that avoids the need for an external debugger. It includes four mikroBUS ™ sockets for connecting various MIKROE Clickboards ™, so you can add more functionality. There are also expansion connectors, JTAG / SWD debug ports, LED indicators and push buttons. The board comes with a Clicker 4 Inverter Shield with 6 MOSFETs for driving the motor, a switching power supply used to regulate the motor supply voltage up to 48V, and a 5V regulated power supply that can be used to power. doing. External controller board. Its flexible interface allows you to get positioning feedback from Hall sensors and incremental encoders. Overcurrent protection is built in for reliability.

M4K MCUs are already widely used throughout the industry and are popular for next-generation motor control implementations.Each of these devices depends on the arm^® cortex^®-M4 processor core with floating point unit (FPU) and memory protection unit (MPU). They provide 160MHz operation with highly programmable motor driver (A-PMD) capabilities and advanced Vector Engine Plus (A-VE +) capabilities for vector control. These memory resources consist of a 256 kbyte code flash and a 32 kbyte data flash.

Clicker 4forTMPM4K and Clicker4Inverter Shield are supported by the MCU MotorStudio software available from Toshiba’s website. It’s a simple, structured and versatile software with two main components. Motor control PC tools that enable parameter configuration, drive control, real-time logging and diagnostics via high-speed UART, and scalable, fully configurable software. Motor control firmware for M4K MCU.
