Flextek Electronics Offers FCMD010 Digital Power Controller
Flextek Electronics Co. offered its MultiDriver™ board, which saves valuable time by providing an integrated system for digital controller development. Typical applications include power, thermal, motion, lighting and flow control for industrial and educational purposes. The switching power stage accepts 12 V to 48 V supplies and provides 6 A half-bridge or 3 A full-bridge output current. Protection features include current limit and thermal shutdown, as well as filters and clamping on a split ground plane.
The FlexController™ SOC allows quick verification of control algorithms through the PC with free FTview™ software. The 28-pin DIP controller socket also accepts PIC microchips and provides an In-Circuit-Debugger connection. Data communication is through a FlexBus™ isolated, multi-drop, serial bus that eliminates line drops and ground noise from measurements, provides protection from power transients, and enables operation at voltages not possible with other systems. The data bus is port-powered, four-device addressable, and compatible with common USB to serial converters for maximum flexibility. The board is 2.3 in x 3.0 in x 0.9 in with convenient screw terminal connectors.
The MultiDriver™ board FCMD010 is available now, priced at $79.50.
