Segger in Germany has worked with Allegro MicroSystems to support 48V-capable microcontrollers for motor control in automotive designs.
The deal means Segger’s J-Link debug probes can now be used to both download a program into and debug the A89211, A89212, and A89224 system-on-chip devices for three-phase brushless DC and permanent-magnet-synchronous-motor motor-control applications. These integrate an ARM Cortex-M4 core with up to 256 KB of flash memory alongside a three-phase gate-drive unit and additional peripherals for efficient and precise motor-control applications.

With J-Link support comes the Ozone multi-platform debugger, as well as the Flasher family of professional in-circuit programmers for production programming and use by service technicians.
The controllers are also supported bu Segger’s development tools, including Embedded Studio, SystemView, libraries for connectivity, security, data compression/storage, and the Internet of Things and emPower OS — a complete operating system for creating embedded systems.
“We are pleased with this partnership, as this means that developers using our A892XX family of products now have access to the Segger ecosystem,” says Christoph Stangl, Product Marketing Manager for Motor Drivers, Allegro MicroSystems. “Segger’s J-Link debug probes make debugging easier and faster, while their family of Flashers makes production more efficient. This partnership is a great way to make innovations from both of our companies available to more customers.”
“Allegro brings fresh momentum to the embedded market, and we are pleased to announce this collaboration,” says Hendrik Sawukajtis, Managing Director, SEGGER. “Their innovative solutions drive key functions in automotive, industrial, and data-center applications, and we’re proud to contribute to their development ecosystem. With our high-performance, reliable debug probes, we help engineers streamline development and reduce time to market.”
