The PAC5527 belongs to Active-Semi’s Power Application Controller (PAC) family. The PAC family of products are highly-optimized SOC devices that can implement BLDC or PMSM programmable motor controller and driver in a single integrated IC. The PAC5527 integrates a high-performance, high-memory FLASH-based 150MHz Arm® Cortex-M4F®, Power Management , High-side and low-side Gate Drivers and Signal-Conditioning components in a single product.
The PAC5527 is optimized for high-performance battery-powered BLDC motor control applications up to 24V.

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 Active-Semi application GUI communications.

Installer for the PAC55xx BLDC application firmware, which implements sensored BLDC and sensorless BEMF motor control on all members of the PAC55xx family. The installer contains example 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) and Keil uVision are included.
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. The FOC application provides a configurable set of features to meet many different application requirements such as sensorless position/speed estimator, start-in-motion (SIM), three or single shunt operation, open phase detection (OPD), field weakening and others.
Installer for the PAC55XX Software Development Kit (SDK) that provides register level definitions and peripheral driver APIs for developing ARM M4 application firmware on all PAC55XX devices. The PAC55XX SDK is a unified SDK that supports Keil µVision IDE, IAR Systems Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM) IDE, and GCC tool chains.
Installer for the PAC55xx Example Code that provides source code examples for using the PAC55xx peripherals. IDE projects are provided for Keil MDK (µVision), IAR Systems Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM), and Eclipse.
PAC55xx IDE Support
Development of application firmware for PAC55XX ARM Cortex ® M4 is made easy with standard integrated development environments (IDEs). PAC55XX can be used with the most popular integrated IDEs including Keil MDK(uVision), IAR Systems Embedded Workbench for ARM, and Eclipse.
