The USB to I²C interface is used for communicating between a digital power management device (like the ADP1043A) and the configuration software that runs on a computer. It also supplies 5V and 0.5A to power up the daughter card/evaluation boards.

This same USB to I²C interface connector is used for the ADP1043A, ADP1047, ADP1048, and other digital power management devices.

The FlexMC Motor Control Development Platform^TM is a rapid development system for any motor control solution. The FlexMC Kit^TM enables you to accelerate time-to-market and increase performance with powerful model-based design tools. The ADI/Boston Engineering solution combines hardware and software with out-of-the-box functionality for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with hall sensor, encoder, or sensorless feedback.

Solution Overview

 The FlexMC Kit has the hardware and software required to spin the motor under open or closed loop speed control. With the FlexMC Kit, you model your system in MATLAB and Simulink, generate the C code, and then deploy. Utilizing system modeling and design concepts, the FlexMC Kit also contains libraries in MATLAB and Simulink for additional access to proven methodologies. The FlexMC Kit hardware includes a PMSM motor with encoder and a Boston Engineering universal AC input drive board that connects directly to an Analog Devices ADSP-CM408 Mixed-Signal Control Processor EZ Kit. Users can prototype with PC power using MATLAB and Simulink, then deploy with the FlexMC Kit. Easy connection to motors and the ADSP-CM408 EZ Kit make this system perfect for your prototyping needs.
