Overview Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are based on inputs from a variety of sensors, controlling different types of motors such as stepper motors for flaps and DC/BLDC blower fan motors. NXP broad portfolio of 32-bit, 16-bit S12, and 8-bit S08 families of microcontrollers enables designers to meet the needs of a variety of HVAC applications. System basis chips (SBCs) combine physical network connection with power management. Intelligent eXtreme switches complete the system solution for DC motor blowers. BLDC motor control requires more complex algorithms. NXP’s MagniV products combine MCU with SBC functionality, network connection, and motor control, specific drivers, into a single package, providing a cost-effective small footprint system solution.

Overview In the industrial world, it is critical to incorporate fail-safe technology where possible in applications such as crane steering machines, robotic lift, and assembly line robots to name a few. By doing so, you ensure you meet Safety Integrity Level (SIL) standards as found in the IEC 61508 standard. Also, you significantly increase human safety and protect products and property. This fail Safe Motor Control solution incorporates the MPC574xP family of MCUs that delivers the highest functional safety standards for industrial applications. The MPC574xP family incorporates a lockstep function that serves as a watchdog function to flag any problems with the MCU including a programmable Fault Collection and Control Unit (FCCU) that monitors the integrity status of the MCU and provides flexible safe state control. Also, this device is a part of the SafeAssure® program, helping manufacturers achieve functional safety standard compliance.

In BLE spec there is no standard wireless pass through profile, so different chip vendors have their own implementations, which is also called Proprietary Profile, the compatibility is a big challenge. There are two wireless pass through demos in NXP BLE demos. For QN90XX chip, it’s called QPP. For KW3X, it’s called wireless UART. The wireless UART is more complex. It doesn’t support always-connection and have many limitations for the app. The common BLE debug tool app on phone side cannot communicate with it, while the QPP can work well.  This demo code is target to port the QPP profile to KW3X SDK, which can simplify user’s development.
