SmartFusion Dual Motor Control Kit Microsemi's SmartFusion Dual Motor Control Kit combines TRINAMIC's TMCM-AC-840 Daughter Board Kit with the SmartFusion evaluation kit to deliver a SmartFusion intelligent mixed signal FPGA motor control prototyping platform for stepper and brushless DC motors (BLDC).

The TMCM-AC-840 Daughter Board connects to the Microsemi SmartFusion™ Evaluation Kit via the mixed signal header connector. The kit features one TMC603A pre-driver IC with BLDC power stage as well as one TMC262 coolStep™ stepper motor driver IC. Two motors are included so the daughter board can be used with the SmartFusion board on the bench right away to test and prototype your motor control and motion control application scenarios.
