Pre-programmed motor control ASSP eliminates RISC-V related tools and software investment, making it easier to target applications such as home and building automation, healthcare devices, and drones.
Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced a RISC-V MCU optimized for advanced motor control systems, offering a ready-to-use, turnkey solution for motor control applications, with no development cost. The pre-programmed R9A02G020 motor control ASSP eliminates RISC-V related tools and software investment, making it easier to target applications such as home and building automation, healthcare devices, and drones.
Renesas will deliver the new ASSP – based on Andes Technology’s entry-level RISC-V processor IP – pre-programmed with specialized application code developed by independent design houses BFG Engineering and DigiPower (HK) Technology. Both BFG and DigiPower have specialized expertise in motor control field and proven customer support capability. BFG is known for sensor-less algorithms that allow customers to reduce motor start-up times. DigiPower has been creating cost-optimized, scalable motor drive solutions since 2008 and has designed specific solutions for control of refrigerator compressors, fans, pumps and more. Both BFG and DigiPower will work with customers to finalize designs and aid the transition to production.
