Power Electronics & Motion Control

Drawing on its in-house motor control development platform “VIPER”, 3T crafted a high-performance solution for the next generation of battery-powered rescue equipment. This ambitious project entailed the creation of an exceptionally efficient and innovative motor control system, enabling ultra-smooth and powerful operation.
Additionally, the self-contained device needed to be submersible and capable of withstanding the most challenging conditions.

VIPER represents an electronic speed controller capable of delivering up to 1kW, ideal for motors with a supply voltage of 8 to 80V. The motor control solutions incorporates a robust processor, an intelligent FET driver, and discrete power stages. The strength of this building block lies in its full customization potential, making it a perfect fit for a wide array of applications.

PEPPER, our cutting-edge development board, houses an exceptionally precise digital amplifier. This 4-channel platform boasts state-of-the-art Gallium-Nitride (GaN) FETs, offering unprecedented control over both voltage and current outputs.

Highly versatile, it accommodates a wide range of load impedances, from capacitive to inductive.

3T is a renowned Dutch electronic design house with over four decades of industry expertise. Our dedicated team of 100+ developers is wholeheartedly committed to delivering excellence and innovation in every project we embrace.

Analog & mixed signal design is our most distinctive competence. If you have an application that requires precision sensor interfaces, real-time data acquisition, or a complex control circuit, 3T is the place to be. Being an AD and TI design partner, we have access to the latest technology.

3T has built up FPGA knowledge and experience since FPGAs were introduced in the market. As a design partner of Intel, AMD, and Microchip, we have access to the latest FPGA technology, such as the newest generation of Systems-On-Chip devices.

The functionality of an application is more and more determined by its embedded software. We do rely on our extensive know-how of programming languages, microcontrollers, hardware interfaces, and real-time operating systems. As a NXP, TI, and Microchip design partner, we have access to all the latest technologies.

Model-Driven Development enhances productivity, reduces development time and costs, and improves maintainability by establishing a clear and traceable relationship between the real world (models) and the implemented system. For Model-driven development, we use the toolchains of MathWorks and ANSYS. 

Using our in-depth knowledge of the developed application, the development of associated test systems and test strategies is a logical consequence. Depending on the situation, the concept of testing has a different perspective and effect on the development process.
