Application of MCP8024 BLDC Motor Driver Evaluation Board

 The MCP8024 BLDC Motor Driver Evaluation Board is used to show the drive capabilities of the MCP8024. The board incorporates the MCP8024 3-Phase BLDC motor gate driver and dsPIC33FJMC204 PIM to actualize a 6-step trapezoidal BLDC motor control. This board is used to evaluate the applications of the MCP8024 Microchip MCP8024 in the BLDC motor application. The board can drive a BLDC motor using a single onboard push button to start and stop the moto and one onboard potentiometer to set the motor speed. The MCP8024 is capable of driving a BLDC motor with a supply voltage of up to 28V and a current of 15A. It has a 6-step trapezoidal control algorithm coupled with5V and 12V LDO, high-to-low voltage translators, current sense op-amps, 750 mW buck converters, and Hall-effect inputs.




Features

  • Input voltage range of between 7 and 28V
  • 500mA gate drive current
  • Drives BLDC motors of up to 15A
  • 750 mW Buck regulator (with resistor-programmable output voltage)
  • ON/OFF momentary contact switch
  • PWM signal LED indicators
  • Speed control potentiometer
  • 5V and 12v Hall-effect terminal blocks
  • An extra user-programmable momentary contact switch
  • 100 pin dsPIC DSC PIM header
  • SPI and C headers for user communication
  • Programmable PWM blanking time for current switching spikes
  • PICkit 3, MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator alongside an MPLAB ICD 3 debugger interfaces
  • Programmable external MOSFET overcurrent protection
  • Programmable PWM dead-time protection
  • Complete “C” source code

Installation of the MCP08024

The kit

The MCP8024 TQFP BLDC Motor Driver Evaluation Board includes the following:

  • MCP8024 TQFP BLDC Motor Driver Evaluation Board
  • DsPIC33FJ32MC204 Plug-In-Module (MA330017)
  • Information sheet

Installation

The board comes fully assembled and tested for driving a BLDC motor. It requires to be powered by an external voltage source that can supply 7V to 28V at the rated current. You also need a motor. There several user-configurable jumpers on the board. The information sheet should be of help in helping you configure them.

    What could be a major update on the new motorcycle is the addition of IMU-based electronic rider aids. That would really bring the Hayabusa up to date with the current crop of superbikes and you could expect features such as multiple riding modes, traction control modes, cornering ABS and much more. The New Suzuki Hayabusa is expected to be unveiled by the end of this or perhaps early next year. Suzuki has said they are bringing at least 10 new motorcycles by 2021, with a focus on large capacity motorcycles. With the Katana and V Strom 1050 already out, the next could very well be the mighty Hayabusa.

Mid-Power LEDs: Less Expensive for LED Lights

Image
  Mid-power LEDs Do you see that sleek, ultra-thin HD TV set in front of you? Well, its existence has been made possible by mid-power LEDs. Which can be  powered the shift from old cold CRT backlight TV. These are tiny LEDs measuring a few millimeters square. Courtesy of their size and weight, hundreds of them can be fitted unto a single light source but still weigh less than 250 grams. They can be pa packaged densely compared to high-power white LEDs. They offer relatively high-power white LEDs and a more uniform appearance. They also consume less power. Mid-power is for many reasons touted as the best alternative for LED lighting. High-power, mid-power, and low power LEDs To get a better grasp on mid-power LEDs is important to understand the three classifications of LEDs Low power They were the earliest LEDs in the market and were mostly used for indicator lights and identifying the status of machine condition. High power They are costly thus were initially used for research. Comme

An Introduction to Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) Motors

Image
The growing popularity Has your phone vibrated today? Well then, you just experienced a  brushless DC (BLDC) motor  in action.  BLDC motors  are synchronous motors that are powered by direct current through a drive module or controller. BLDC motors have witnessed rapid growth in popularity owing to their construction that makes them superior to the brushed counterparts. BLDC motor construction Rotor The rotor is made up of permanent magnets and its number of poles (North and South poles) varies from two to eight pairs. The permanent magnets are made from ferrite magnets. However, permanent magnets made from rare earth alloys are increasingly becoming popular owing to the advancement in technology. Rare earth alloys offer more magnetic density per volume while enabling the rotor to compress further for the same amount of torque. Such alloys also improve the size to weight ratio. There are two rotor designs for BLDC motors; the inner rotor and the outer rotor design. I

Little Know more about Brush-less Motors

Image
Brushless motors Brushless differs from conventional dc motors in the sense that it does not have brushes. Commutation is done using electronic drives to feed power to the stator windings. They consist of a rotor which is in the form of a permanent magnet and a stator that is in the form of polyphase armature windings. A  brushless DC motor  can be constructed in two ways; one is by placing the rotor outside the core and the other is by placing the rotor inside the core. How a brushless motor works Brushless motors are driven by electronic drives that  switch  the supply voltage between the stator windings while the rotor turns. There is a transducer that monitors the position of the rotor as it turns and conveys the information to an electronic controller. The controller then decides which stator winding to be energized based on the position of the rotor. Electronic drives are made up of two transistors each phase which is run by a microprocessor. The magnetic field i
