Enhanced Performance and Energy Efficiency: APM32F035 Electric Two-Wheelers Motor Controller Solution

November 13, 2023 Industrial

Geehy has introduced the APM32F035 motor controller solution for electric two-wheelers, emphasizing key factors such as range, intelligence, humanization, and cost performance. This mass-produced solution incorporates features like Hall capture, self-learning, braking, reversing, cruising, gear speed regulation, and anti-theft alarm. Extensively tested for hardware design, including control, sampling, drive, and communication circuits, as well as the system-level development ecosystem, it effectively meets the design requirements of electric two-wheelers.

 

Based on the APM32F035 motor-dedicated MCU, Geehy’s solution supports a sensor-based FOC strategy and integrates multiple op-amps and comparators. This simplifies peripheral circuit design, reduces interference, and achieves high efficiency with low noise. The APM32F035, as the main control chip, samples bus voltage, current, and HALL signals, executes motor control logic, and communicates with the upper-layer application, providing operational status feedback.

The APM32F035 issues control commands through methods like gear speed regulation. It synchronizes ADC sampling of bus voltage and motor phase current signals, processes them in the MCU, and combines Hall signals from TMR2 with internal algorithms to calculate the operating angle. The internal motor algorithm logic control is executed, and three pairs of complementary PWM signals are output through Timer1 to the drive chip and power devices. This drives the motor to operate efficiently, smoothly, and with low noise.
