Würth Elektronik and Nexperia have partnered to create the NEVB-MTR1-KIT1, a modular motor driver evaluation kit aimed at simplifying and speeding up motor control development. With USB-C power and a setup time of under two minutes, the kit is designed for ease of use. Its open, modular design allows developers to easily swap out microcontrollers and components, while open-source firmware supports quick adaptation for real-world applications.
A key feature is the inclusion of high-current connectors from Würth Elektronik, enabling power evaluations of up to 1 kW at 48 V. The complete kit includes a 3-phase inverter, motor controller, microcontroller board, BLDC motor, and pre-wired motor connections.
As motor control systems grow more complex—with increasing demands for efficiency, responsiveness, and fault tolerance—developers face the challenge of integrating the right components. Matching switches like MOSFETs or IGBTs with the correct gate drivers and protection circuits is vital for reliable and efficient performance. The NEVB-MTR1-KIT1 helps engineers evaluate these combinations under realistic conditions, including thermal, parasitic, and EMI factors.
Supporting a variety of motors and control methods, the kit serves as a powerful platform for rapid prototyping and development in modern motor control applications.
