NXP BLDC Motor Controller - Improve Power Stage

Hello all,
 
I am looking to build a BLDC motor controller or modify one. The NXP reference boards are insufficient with the power stage current. The motor I have is 3 phase and intended for operation in roughly the 12 to 14 V dc range. The motor power rating is somewhere around 1.2 KW and I think the stall current is around 150 Amps. I am not sure what the average operating current is. Also, I think the design was for operation up to around 4,000 RPM and the motor design is 12 slots with 8 poles.
 
Any thoughts about using a NXP reference design and modifying the Power Output Stage to handle the motor I have?
 
I have the S12ZVML MINI-BRD Development Board for 3-phase sensorless BLDC and I have the S32k144 Eval board.
 
Here are my questions:
 
Should I try to modify the power stage of the S12ZVML-MINIBRD to drive my motor or should I look at the S32K144 Eval board since I need to modify the power stage anyway or should I do a design from scratch?
 
If I try to modify the S12ZVML-MINIBRD power stage, what changes need to be made for the sensorless feedback?
 
Thanks,
David

Hi,

the colleague of mine from an app group suggests following...

 

My sugestion is not to use https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/automotive-motor-control-solutions/magniv-and-s12-solu...

S12ZVML 3-phase BLDC/PMSM Evaluation Kit

The S12ZVML-MINIBRD evaluation board and the S12ZVML-MINIKIT evaluation kit are engineered for 3-phase BLDC and PMSM sensorless motor control applications.

 

but this one

https://www.nxp.com/design/development-boards/automotive-motor-control-solutions/magniv-and-s12-solu...

S12ZVM high-current BLDC/PMSM Evaluation Board

The MCSXSR1CS12ZVM is an evaluation board engineered for 3-phase brushless direct current (BLDC) and permanent magnet synchronousmotor (PMSM) control in high-current applications

 

It is for higher power and there are also supporting documents and files.

 

Best regards,

Ladislav

Thanks Ladislav!

I will take your suggestion and use the MCSXSR1CS12ZVM for my motor control solution.
