Qorvo's PAC5285 belongs to Qorvo's Power Application Controller (PAC) family. This family features highly-optimized SOC devices that can implement BLDC or PMSM programmable motor controller and driver functionality in a single integrated IC.
The PAC5285 integrates a 50 MHz Arm Cortex-M0 with 32 kB FLASH, power management, gate drivers and power MOSFETs and signal conditioning in a small single product.
PAC5285 is optimized for low-power BLDC motor control applications up to 20 W.
Typical Applications
- Small pumps and fans
- Low-power handheld consumer electronics

PAC5285EVK1 Evaluation Kit
Qorvo's PAC5285EVK1 development platform is a complete hardware solution enabling users not only to evaluate the PAC5285 device, but also develop power applications revolving around this powerful and versatile Arm® Cortex®-M0 based microcontroller. The module contains a PAC5285 Power Application Controller® (MCU) and all the necessary circuitry to properly energize the MCU and its internal peripherals once power is applied.
To aid in the application development the PAC5285EVK1 offers access to each and every one of the PAC5285 device's signals by means of a series of male header connectors.

Supporting Evaluation Tools
The ET-UARTSWD adapter is the preferred adapter for evaluation of PAC devices/firmware and combines a USB to UART adapter with SWD debugger connector adaptation into a single board with isolation. The ET-UARTISO-1 adapter provides only the USB to UART adapter with isolation for Qorvo application GUI communications.
ET-UARTSWD
The ET-UARTSWD isolated communications and debugging interface unifies two modules into one. Previously, interfacing a PC Computer to any of Qorvo's PAC5xxx Evaluation Modules required one module to enable UART based serial communications and a second module to allow for in-system debugging and FLASH memory programing.

PAC5xxx Flash Programmer Tools
Qorvo has partnered with Flash Programmer solution providers to support our Intelligent Motor Control PAC product families. These proven tools are suitable for emerging and high volume product manufacturing. Both package level (socketed) and board level Flash programming solutions are available.
Qorvo will support other vendors familiar with Arm® Serial Wire Debug (SWD) protocol to add PAC product compatibility on their existing Flash programmer platforms. For details, please contact Qorvo Sales.
PAC5285 Software
| PAC FOC Application Firmware Version: v4.5.1 |
Installer for the PAC FOC application firmware designed to show case motor control using sensorless Field Oriented Control (FOC) on all PAC devices. The installer contains example FOC application source code, Windows graphical user interface (GUI), and documentation to allow the user to configure the system to work with their target motor.
