Overview
Description
The MCK-RA6T2 is a development kit that enables easy evaluation of motor control using permanent magnet synchronous motors (brushless DC motors). With this product and the sample code and QE for Motor that can be downloaded from the website, you can start evaluating motor control using the RA6T2 right away.
This product has two versions: Version 1 (P/N: RTK0EMA270S00020BJ) and Version 2 (P/N: RTK0EMA270S00021BJ).
- MCB-RA6T2 Version 1 supports only single power factor correction (PFC) control for the high voltage inverter board, while Version 2 supports single PFC control and interleaved PFC control.
- MCK-RA6T2 Version 1 (includes MCB-RA6T2 Version 1) will be discontinued. Please consider using the successor product, MCK-RA6T2 Version 2 (includes MCB-RA6T2 Version 2).
Please note that Version 1 and Version 2 are not sample code compatible. Therefore, sample code is provided for both Version 1 and Version 2. The supported boards are listed in the application notes included with the sample code. Please be sure to use the sample code corresponding to the board version.

AI-generated Summary:
Digital filters modify input signals by enhancing or attenuating specific frequency components. Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters use feedback to achieve filtering with fewer computations and shorter delays compared to Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters. IIR filters are often implemented as cascaded biquad sections to maintain stability and achieve sharper frequency roll-offs. Various analog filter designs such as Butterworth, Chebyshev I & II, and Elliptical influence IIR filter characteristics. MATLAB tools assist in designing and extracting coefficients for these filters. The document details configuring and operating the IIR Filter Accelerator on the RA6T2 MCU to implement digital filtering efficiently.
