Kit Description
The Luminary Micro Stellaris AC Induction Motor Reference Design Kit (RDK) contains all the necessary hardware and software for you to design, develop, and integrate your AC induction motor applications. The AC Induction Motor RDK combines the strength and flexibility of Luminary Micro's Stellaris microcontrollers with Fairchild Semiconductor's FSBS10CH60 Smart Power Modules to create an advanced variable speed AC motor control design that has been carefully engineered for performance, cost, and flexibility. AC induction motors are particularly suited for use in major home appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers), residential and light commercial HVAC systems, and three-phase industrial motor drives.
