Qorvo's PAC5532 belongs to Qorvo's Power Application Controller® (PAC) product family. This family features highly-optimized SOC devices that can implement BLDC or PMSM programmable motor controller and driver in a single integrated IC.
The product integrates an Arm® Cortex®-M4F FLASH-based MCU, power management, high-side and low-side gate drivers and signal conditioning components in a single product.
PAC5532 is optimized for 48V to 120V battery-powered BLDC applications such as garden tools or battery-powered bikes and scooters.
Typical Applications
- Power Tools (up to 120 V)
- Garden Tools (up to 120 V)
- Battery Powered Vehicles
- 48 V Telecom / DC Fans
- Drones / Remote-Controlled (RC) Systems

PAC5532EVK1 Evaluation Kit
Qorvo's PAC5532EVK1 Evaluation Kit (EVK) is a complete hardware solution enabling users to evaluate and develop motor control applications around this powerful and versatile Arm® Cortex®–M4F based micro-controller. The module contains the PAC5532 Power Application Controller (MCU), MOSFET inverter and debugging headers for serial interfaces and GPIO signals that may be used for debugging and evaluation.
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.
