The TWR-56F8257 module is a demonstration and development tool for the NXP^® MC56F8257 DSCs. Ideally suited for motor control applications, it can be combined and used with several peripheral modules in the Tower^® System, including the TWR-MC-LV3PH motor control module or be operated as a standalone tool. It can also be used as the main control board with an APMOTOR56F8000E motor control board.
