Add 3-phase Brushless DC (BLDC) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) motor control capabilities to your Tower^® System designs with the NXP^® TWR-MC-LV3PH Low-Voltage 3-Phase Motor Control module.

This module effectively turns a Tower System development tool into a motor control reference design kit that includes a BLDC motor.
As is standard with all Tower System modules, the TWR-MC-LV3PH is interchangeable across the development platform and can be used with many existing modules including: TWR-56F8200, TWR-56F8400, TWR-K60N512, TWR-56F8257, TWR-K40X256, TWR-KV46F150M, TWR-KV31F120M, TWR-KV10Z32 and TWR-KV11Z75M.
Processor Expert^® component support for MC33937 enables rapid embedded application development
