PAC5523AEVK1 Evaluation Kit
Qorvo's PAC5523AEVK1 evaluation kit is a complete hardware solution enabling users to evaluate the PAC5523A device, but also develop motor control applications revolving around the powerful and versatile 150MHz Arm® Cortex® -M4F based MCU. This evaluation kit is a motor controller and driver evaluation PCB, that uses PAC5523A Power Application Controller®.
To aid in evaluation and application development the PAC5523AEVK1 offers access to all of the PAC5523A device's signals by means of a series of female 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.
PAC55xx 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. Project files for IAR Systems Embedded Workbench for Arm® (EWARM), Keil uVision and Eclipse are included.
