As a leader in chip programming, Acroview, while releasing a new version of its programming software, officially announced further expansion of its compatible chip model coverage. The company's core product, the universal programming platform AP8000, has now achieved full compatibility with Fortior Tech's field-oriented controller FT8215Q.

FT8215Q is a three-phase, sensorless FOC brushless DC motor driver IC with integrated driver MOSFETs. The chip highly integrates the components required for motor control, requiring few external components, and features low noise and low motor torque ripple. It has built-in EEPROM for configuring customer motor parameters, startup, and speed control methods. The speed control interface can be selected as PWM, analog input, or I2C to adjust motor speed. It integrates a speed indication function and can read motor speed in real time through the FG pin or I2C interface. The speed control mode can be selected as constant speed, constant current, or open-loop control. It has a motor speed indication function and integrates multiple protection modes such as overcurrent, undervoltage, overtemperature, and stall protection. Sleep current is 40 µA.

Features

• Sensorless field-oriented control (FOC), reducing motor noise and vibration

• Constant speed, constant current, or open-loop control modes

• Analog/PWM/I2C/CLOCK speed control

• I2C interface for motor control and status readback

• Initial position detection at standstill to support startup

• Supports startup in headwind and tailwind conditions

• Soft-On Soft-Off (SOSO)

• Drive current: 2 A

• Built-in EEPROM for configurable motor parameters, startup, and speed control methods

• Configurable multi-segment speed curves

• Stall protection

• Overcurrent protection

• Phase loss protection

• Free switching between forward and reverse rotation

• Configurable motor speed indication or stall indication

Applications

Pedestal fans, cooling fans, etc.

Functional Block Diagram

The AP8000 universal programmer independently developed by Acroview has become a benchmark professional programming solution in the industry. The device supports flexible and adjustable one-to-one and one-to-eight configuration modes, and provides both online and offline working modes. In particular, it has developed dedicated programming solutions for memory chips such as eMMC and UFS, fully covering the bare-die offline programming and in-board programming requirements of Fortior Tech's full series of chips. AP8000 adopts an innovative modular design with three core modules: main unit, base board, and adapter socket, giving the device excellent compatibility and scalability. As a universal programming platform, it can not only adapt to various programmable chips on the market, but also, with stable and efficient performance, serves as a core component of Acroview's automated batch programming equipment IPS5800S, efficiently handling large-scale chip programming tasks and meeting mass production needs.

The AP8000 main unit offers flexible connection options, equipped with both USB and NET interfaces to enable convenient networking of multiple programmers. Through the networking function, users can easily achieve synchronous control of multiple programmers and efficiently carry out parallel programming operations. In terms of security, the main unit has a built-in intelligent safety protection circuit that can monitor chip placement status and circuit connection conditions in real time. Once abnormalities such as reversed chip insertion or short circuits are detected, it will immediately trigger a power-off protection mechanism, comprehensively safeguarding the safe operation of chips and the programmer. The main unit is equipped with a high-speed FPGA chip, greatly improving data transmission and processing efficiency and ensuring a smooth and efficient programming process. To enhance ease of use, an SD card slot is provided on the back of the main unit. Users only need to save project files generated on a PC to an SD card and insert it into the slot, then complete file selection, loading, and programming operations through the physical buttons on the programmer, enabling standalone operation without a PC. This design not only reduces dependence on computer hardware configuration but also simplifies the work environment setup process and significantly improves operational flexibility.

In terms of scalability and compatibility, AP8000 adopts a modular combination design of base board and adapter board, effectively expanding the functional boundaries of the main unit. At present, the device supports products from all mainstream semiconductor manufacturers, covering well-known brands such as SK hynix, Micron, SANDISK, ASR, and Kingston. Its supported device types are extensive, covering NAND, NOR, MCU, and other device types, and it supports industry-standard file formats, providing users with a one-stop, full-scenario chip programming solution.
