Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 SoC-FPGA-based solution is an ideal reference platform for developing high-performance, reliable, and secured dual-axis motor control applications. The solution has algorithms like sensorless FOC, FOC with HALL, FOC with encoder, and FOC with resolver for PMSM/BLDC motors. The position control algorithm of the stepper motor supports up to 1024 microsteps.

The SmartFusion2 Motor Control GUI allows for the dynamic tuning of parameters, such as reference speed, Kp/Ki gains of PI controllers, and viewing internal signals for debugging. The kit also supports various communication interfaces, including Ethernet, CAN, USB, and others. SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs feature stronger design security than other FPGAs and include differential power analysis (DPA) resistant, anti-tamper measures using technology licensed from Cryptography Research Incorporated (CRI). The security architecture was designed with a layered approach in mind, building on top of a foundation of secure hardware. Microsemi offers a one-stop shop with a portfolio of complementary products to meet your motor control needs. Microsemi’s product portfolio includes FPGAs, SiC diodes/MOSFETs, power modules, timing, PoE/Midspans, sensors, and more.
