Introduced the world's first on-chip motor drive chip system with integrated RISC-V core
The Internet of Things is inextricably linked to sensors. But how it fails to act on the large amounts of data it gets will make no sense. A reliable electric actuator that connects door locks, valves and heated vents is the behind-the-scenes hero behind the "T" that provides real value to the Internet of Things. Through the ROCINANTE family, TRINAMIC announced the world's first single-chip motor drive circuit with an embedded RISC-V core. As a single-chip IoT actuator solution, this new line of products forms the cornerstone of the physical cloud.
Hamburg, November 12, 2018 - TRINAMIC announces its new family of motor drive control products, integrating the embedded RISC-V core and naming it 'Rocinante'. The new product incorporates TRINAMIC's decades of experience in embedded motor motion control and a more open and flexible RISC-VISA microcontroller. This new range of products can be used to drive stepper motors, BLDC brushless motors, brushed motors, and even voice coil motors, which are used extensively to service robots, smart homes, office automation, electric vehicles and power tools. Such as the fast-growing market.
The core of any embedded motor control system consists of a microcontroller, a running application layer, a user interface or an execution bus protocol. TRINAMIC has always been a leading supplier of motor control and the only dedicated motion control IC design company in Europe. As a total solution provider, TRINAMIC relies on decades of experience to provide board-level embedded microcontrollers. The single-chip solution turns miniaturized, highly embedded, stand-alone devices into reality.
Actuators, motors, and mechanisms have a longer life than user interfaces or protocols, so the life of the components is critical to the equipment manufacturer. RISC-V is the perfect platform for long-life product design. RISC-VISA is stable and proven, and there are no obligations or license agreements that prohibit product design, long-term development or technology transfer. TRINAMIC chose RISC-V as the basis for future embedded motion control.
Michael Randt, CEO and founder of TRINAMIC, explained: “The embedding of powerful processors into the motor controller gives us a new degree of freedom and gives us essential features such as condition monitoring and predictability in the future. Maintenance. Some companies excel in simulation, many companies are doing digital ICs, even mixed-signal circuits, which are more challenging and clever. The single-chip mixed-signal intelligent power IC with embedded processor core is the peak level. Provides ultimate flexibility and reliability at an attractive cost."
TRINAMIC is an early member of the RISC-V Group. The company has successfully implemented the RISC-V core in the early FPGA stage to meet the specific needs of those looking for reliable, stable and long-term architecture customers. TRINAMIC is committed to the concept of an open instruction set. The design is based on self-developed IP and IP modules of carefully tested and selected European resources.
The first product in the product line will be a control for BLDC/PMSM motors with integrated 6 door drives and for controlling open-loop stepper or stepper servo motors with 8 door drives. These two components share a rich set of integrated diagnostics and interface features. All product family products are equipped with 32-bit RISC-V core, hardware-based space magnetic field vector control, serial communication interface, USB, CAN-FD and door drive for 2- or 3-phase motors. An integrated switching modulator enables a chip-driven solution. The 128k EEPROM-based non-volatile memory and 32kSRAM make it powerful enough to handle high-level industrial protocols, whether stand-alone applications or such as CANopen or CANopen-FD.
This component is also the first product in the world to implement high voltage technology in a single RISC-V. It can realize direct drive of N-channel MOSFETs and control BLDC, stepper motor, DC brush motor and voice coil motor.
