Gleichmann Announces NEC's 32-bit V850E/IF3, V850E/IG3 MCUs

Posted by EDA Geek News Staff in Microcontrollers on Thursday, June 28, 2007

NEC Electronics' (distribution: Gleichmann Electronics) two new 3-phase control device families, V850E/IF3 and V850E/IG3, open up all kinds of new application possibilities. Key features of these devices, based on the 32-bit V850E1 core, include two integrated 16-bit 3-phase timers with 6-phase PWM output function. These allow controlling two 3-phase motors simultaneously and independently. These devices also incorporate other key features for optimized motor control, such as dead time generation and direct shut down for power transistor protection. The PWM frequency is freely selectable; the duty-cycle adjustable between 0% and 100%. The pwm-registers are written via an additional series buffer register. A reduction in CPU load is achieved by means of intelligent interrupt management respectively interrupt filtering. Power factor correction (PFC) is easily implemented with additional timers.
