Tools turn DSP to motion control
A new suite of low-cost motor-control tools aims to accelerate the development of embedded motor control systems
The tools comprise: the DMC550 motor development board ($495); the Code Composer Studio (CCStudio) integrated development environment ($495); the TMS320LF2407A eZdsp development platform ($295); and a digital motor control software library (DMCLib) of prewritten motor-specific algorithms (free of charge from the TI website).

Webcast to address wireless power optimisation
Texas Instruments and Avnet Electronics Marketing will present a live Analog eLab webcast on 'Optimising power in low-power wireless systems' on 12th April 2006
Targeting systems that require advanced features like sensorless alternating current (AC) induction vector control, current shaped switched reluctance control and permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) servo control, these low cost and free software and hardware tools simplify the evaluation, development and execution of code on TMS320C2000 digital signal controllers.
The DMC550 development board is designed as a drive controller for brushless direct current (BLDC) motors.
Providing a complete design solution by integrating with CCStudio and the LF2407A eZdsp, the DMC550 reduces a designer's development time by offering one system that allows for the evaluation, development and implementation of code on TMS320C24x digital signal controllers.
CCStudio v2.2 is a powerful set of integrated development tools including DSP/BIOS 3 kernel, code-generation tools, fast simulators and a debugger that can be enhanced with plug-ins to enable faster time to market with real-time embedded applications.
Motor control developers can now benefit from fast simulators for deeper visibility and quick problem resolution, as well as real time data exchange (RTDX) channel status viewer for better management of real-time motor control applications.

Compatible with CCStudio, the LF2407A eZdsp is a stand-alone development platform for demonstrating and running software and allows designers to easily start hardware and software development on LF2407A digital signal controllers.
TI's extensive application-specific software, DMCLib, covers a full range of motors types, including single- and three-phase, sensored and sensorless, alternating current induction (ACI), BLDC, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) and switched reluctance (SR) motors.
DMCLib reduces development and costs by allowing designers to use pre-written, motor specific algorithms as a foundation to their code.
TI's motor control development tools are designed specifically for the C2000 platform of digital signal controllers.
C2000 controllers are optimised for control applications and provide the best combination of microcontroller (MCU) peripheral integration and ease-of-use with the performance of TI's leading digital signal processing (DSP) technology.
The high level of integration and performance of C2000 controllers allows designers to add additional features to their systems, helping to provide better feedback and precision while reducing overall costs.
