Introduction to Renesas RA6T1 32-Bit MCU for Motor Control ARM
Date Published
October 21, 2020
AMBP11003: In this module, we introduce the RA6T1. The RA6T1 is the first product for motor control to be added to the RA Family of 32-bit MCUs, with optimized peripheral functions. In addition, we have prepared the RA6T1 RSSK, sample programs, and a motor control development support tool that can be used to start evaluation immediately after unpacking. The RA6T1 supports a PWM timer that has various output modes, an analog function (PGA, comparator) that contributes to reduced BOM, and a safety function that protects the inverter circuit. In addition, using the motor control development support tool, the RA6T1 RSSK allows you to read and write variables and display waveforms while operating the motor, or automatically adjust the parameters that are necessary to control vector.
This module requires about 12 minutes.
