Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated TMC6460-EVKIT Evaluation Board
Analog Devices TMC6460-EVKIT Evaluation Board includes the TMC6460-EVAL board, as well as the Eselsbruecke, and Landungsbruecke interface boards, to be used together as part of the ADI Trinamic™ TMCL ecosystem. The TMC6460 is the first fully integrated servo drive IC, combining a field-oriented control (FOC) controller, power stage, current sensing, and feedback engine in a single chip. Its highly integrated design enables control of FOC torque, velocity, and position motion with unrivaled miniaturization.
The high PWM frequency capabilities of the Analog Devices TMC6460 enable it to drive low-inductance and coreless precision motors efficiently. The flexible and easy-to-use TMC6460 provides the ideal solution for applications requiring precise positioning and fast acceleration. The TMC6460-EVAL board allows using the TMC6460 as part of the ADI Trinamic evaluation board system, for example, in combination with the TMCL-IDE or the PyTrinamic Python package.
