Called RDK4 and measuring 48 x 115mm, it is “integrated into Infineon’s ModusToolbox development environment, where software examples are available”, said component distributor Rutronik, which has built the board around Infineon 4100S Max automotive microcontroller, paired with an Infineon power chip, and other parts that it stocks.
“With the help of jumpers, it is also possible to selectively measure the power consumption of the microcontroller, for example, during different power modes,” said Rutronik.
The 48MHz CPU has access to 384kbyte flash and 32kbyte of ram in the CY8C4149AZE-S598 main IC.
Headers for Arduino shields are provided, through which the board can be powered at up to 26V. There are three other potential power inputs: battery banana sockets (26V max), and auxiliary header (26Vmax and a USB Type-C connector (5.5V max).
Peripherals include touch pads, LEDs, tactile push buttons, a potentiometer and sliding switches.
Headers are provided for GPIO and J-Link, and there is an on-board KitProg3 debugger with with I2C and a UART USB bridge.
Electronics Weekly has asked Rutronik what makes this board particularly suited to motor control.
