At the moment, all kinds of ICs are hard to find. The hardest seems to be MCUs ☹

But also many of the driver ICs favoured by SimpleFOC users seem to be unavailable…

Certainly, I look forward to more of TIs [DRV8316](https://www.ti.com/product/DRV8316) (integrated FETs), and also the [AMT49106](https://www.allegromicro.com/en/products/motor-drivers/bldc-drivers/amt49106-amt49107) (external FETs) looks cool if it ever becomes available…

In the meantime, the following seem to be obtainable, and also look very cool:

the [TMC6140](https://www.mouser.at/datasheet/2/256/TMC6140_datasheet_rev1_00-2448835.pdf) - 3 phase gate driver  
the [MP6530](https://www.mouser.at/datasheet/2/277/MP6530-1384555.pdf) - 3 phase gate driver  
and the [MP6540HA](https://www.mouser.at/datasheet/2/277/mono_s_a0011470959_1-2277179.pdf) - 3 phase integrated FETs, 5A, 6-PWM control

If you know of any other available driver ICs suitable for SimpleFOC, feel free to post them here!

And if anyone has any tips where to find MCUs, let us know too! 🙂

And all the Espressif WiFi MCU modules, those have never been short.

Discrete Half-H Drivers at JLC available for SMT, need external MOSFETS:

Plenty of discrete MOSFETs available for SMT, those never had any shortage though.

Here is a really tiny one I liked a lot, that could be paired with some of the discrete drivers:

KNG3703A, 50A / 30V, in a 3x3mm package, that’s tiny!

BTW, I already created dev P-O-C boards with all of the above, and ordered them, just to see if they work, I believe I posted them in another thread, so I’m not just blowing smoke here.

Good luck to anyone who does this stuff. If anything, the shortage really forced people to get creative.

Cheers,  
Valentine

Seems like **PAC5285** is in stock: integrated ARM controller + driver + FETs + 1 amp for current sensing. Any idea how difficult it would be to run SimpleFOC on it?

Qorvo has some very nice chips…

Problem is that there’s no Arduino framework support for them, and ARM chips can be significantly different… STM32, Teensy (Nexperia) and SAMD are all ARM, but each has its own platform for Arduino framework.  
So while I assume the chip will have SWD for programming, and the ARM gcc toolchain can probably produce code for it, I assume all the framework and board description files would be missing.  
If you can find an Arduino support for it, it would be a great chip to try. Otherwise, I’d take a look at the STSPING4… that one is likely to be runnable with the stm32duino platform without too much pain getting it running…
