S32M2xx - Motor control use cases

[#1]

Designed for 12V motor control applications, the S32M2 family, based on system-in-package (SiP) design, integrates high-voltage analog functionalities (MOSFET gate pre-drivers, physical communication interfaces - LIN/CAN FD, and voltage regulators) with a robust embedded MCU Core (S32K Arm^® Cortex^®-M4/M7 series core).

S32M2 integrates voltage regulators, pulse-width modulators, analog to digital converters, timers and non-volatile memory to reduce overall component count and reduce board space in a 64-pin LQFP-EP package.

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 S32M2 MCU in wide range of motor control use cases.

The table below points to the articles with more detailed description each of S32M2 motor control use cases, hardware description, links to appropriate application notes articles, and software repositories.

S32M244CC S32M244LC	S32M24 PMSM/BLDC Motor Control Evaluation Board | NXP Semiconductors BLDC/PMSM Low Voltage Motor Control Accessory Kit | NXP Semiconductors	FOC with single shunt current measurement The 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 BLDC PMSM  low voltage motor control accessory kit. The single shunt current measurement is an advanced technique that allows decrease the cost of Bill of Material (BOM). The example codes uses RTD drivers with low-level non-Autosar API.
		Hall sensor based Six-step commutation control. The article focuses on solution-based Six-step commutation (6-step) technique (typically used for 3-phase BLDC motors) with Hall position sensor. The example code uses RTD drivers with low-level non-Autosar API..
		Sensorless Six-step commutation control. The article focuses on solution-based Six-step commutation (6-step) technique (typically used for 3-phase BLDC motors) without position sensor (sensorless). The example code uses RTD drivers with low-level non-Autosar API.
