S32K3 Motor control SW examples

[#1]

The S32K3 family of 32-bit AEC-Q100 qualified MCUs combines a scalable family of Arm® Cortex-M7-based microcontrollers built on long-lasting features with a comprehensive suite of production-grade tools. S32K3 MCUs are included in NXP’s Product Longevity Program, guaranteeing a minimum of 15 years of assured supply.

The S32K3 offers dedicated peripherals set for rapid motor control loop implementation: enhanced Modular IO Subsystem(eMIOS), Logic Control Unit (LCU), TRGMUX, BodyCross-triggering Unit (BCTU), Analog to Digital Converter(ADC), and Analog Comparator (CMP).

The comprehensive motor control ecosystem based on Automotive Math and Motor Control Library(AMMCLib) set, FreeMASTER with Motor Control ApplicationTuning (MCAT) tool and Model-Based Design Toolbox (MBDT) helps to enable S32K3 MCU in wide range of motor control use cases.

The table below points to the articles with more detailed description each of S32K3 motor control use cases, hardware description, links to appropriate application notes and their addendums, and software repositories. 

Device	HW	Article
S32K344	MCSPTE1AK344 12 V development kit engineered for 3-phase PMSM and BLDC motor control applications	FOC with dual shunt current measurement Article focuses on solution based Field Oriented Control (FOC) technique (typically used for 3-phase PMSM motors) with dual shunt current measurement and without any position sensor (sensorless). The Encoder sensor is supported by SW option, but missing on HW kit. The available example codes covers both ANSI-C and Matlab Simulink approaches and uses RTD drivers with high-level Autosar complient API or low-level non-Autosar API.
		FOC with single shunt current measurement Article focuses on solution based Field Oriented Control (FOC) technique (typically used for 3-phase PMSM motors) with single shunt current measurement and without any position sensor (sensorless). The Encoder sensor is supported by SW option, but missing on HW kit. The single shunt current measurement is advanced technique that allows decrese the cost of Bill of Material (BOM). The available example codes covers both ANSI-C and Matlab Simulink approaches and uses RTD drivers with high-level Autosar complient API or low-level non-Autosar API.
		FOC integrated with FreeRTOS Article focuses on integration of motor control software (based on FOC with dual shunt current measurement) and Real Time Operating System (FreeRTOS). The available example code is based ANSI-C  code and uses RTD drivers with low-level non-Autosar API.
		Six-step commutation control. Article focuses on solution based Six-step commutation (6-step) technique (typically used for 3-phase BLDC motors) with Hall position sensor and without any position sensor (sensorless). The available example codes covers both ANSI-C and Matlab Simulink approaches and uses RTD drivers with low-level non-Autosar API.

Note: the list of use cases cannot cover all combinations of MCU, current measurement scenario, control technique and sensor inputs, but should work as a base reference for most common configurations. This list is not final, please follow this acticle to be notified about updates with new use cases.
