Overview

The MCK-RA8T1 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 RA8T1 right away.

Features

  • CPU board is equipped with the RA8T1 as the motor control MCU
  • Inverter board for 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor (48V/10A rating)
  • On-board debugger for flash programming of RA8T1
  • Supports 1-shunt/3-shunt current sensing
  • Overcurrent detection
  • Supports Renesas Motor Workbench, a motor control development support tool
  • Motor control evaluation and debugging can be performed safely using a communication board that electrically isolates the PC from the CPU board
  • Supports Hall sensors, encoders, and inductive position sensors
