    &lt;/div&gt;

    &lt;div class="xs-mt3"&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The BLDC Motor add-on is a simple development accessory that plugs directly into the F1 Evaluation Platform (DM164130-1) or F1  LV Evaluation Platform (DM164130-5) and incorporates all the components necessary to implement Brushless DC motor control.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BLDC add-on (DM164130-2) allows you to drive virtually most sensorless three-phase brushless DC motors used in consumer electronics, ranging from small HVAC applications to complex media reading/writing drives. The add-on is shipped together with the ebm-papst BLDC motor, to which it connects through a ribbon cable to a special connector on the board (J5). Alternatively, any other 5-12V BLDC motor can be used by hooking it up through the J2 connector.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BLDC add-on uses a typical three half-bridges control configuration suitable for three-phase BLDC motors, using six MOSFETS commanded through six bipolar transistors. Sensorless control is done in the software without any other external components.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Applications:&lt;/strong&gt; Consumer electronics, ranging from small HVAC applications to complex media reading/writing drives.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    
        &lt;h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Features&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;ul id="ctl00_ctl00_PageContent_SubPageContent_dtFeaturesText" class="prepend-top"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Direct connect to either F1 Evaluation Platform or F1 LV Evaluation Platform&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3 MOSFET half bridge circuits for BLDC motor drive&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ribbon cable interface for motor&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Motor zero-crossing adjustment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Motor current limiting adjustment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;12V plug with voltage regulation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Power posts for additional power connections&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;5A Fuses&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Connectors:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Male 20-pin connector (J1) to match the F1 LV Evaluation Platform&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Generic 6-pin BLDC motor connector (J2)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;6-pin ebm-papst motor interface (J5)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;5-12V power supply input connector (J4) Typical BLDC drive:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Three P-type and 3 N-type MOSFETs forming three half bridges for the three motor phases&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Six bipolar transistors to command the MOSFETs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sensing resistor for current measurement (R15)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Control:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;R21 for adjusting the zero crossing voltage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;R19 for adjusting the over-current Fault detect (software for this function is not implemented).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Protection:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Power fuses (F1, F2)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Power supply:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3.3V voltage regulator (U1)&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;The BLDC Motor add-on is a simple development accessory that plugs directly into the F1 Evaluation Platform (DM164130-1) or F1  LV Evaluation Platform (DM164130-5) and incorporates all the components necessary to implement Brushless DC motor control.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BLDC add-on (DM164130-2) allows you to drive virtually most sensorless three-phase brushless DC motors used in consumer electronics, ranging from small HVAC applications to complex media reading/writing drives. The add-on is shipped together with the ebm-papst BLDC motor, to which it connects through a ribbon cable to a special connector on the board (J5). Alternatively, any other 5-12V BLDC motor can be used by hooking it up through the J2 connector.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BLDC add-on uses a typical three half-bridges control configuration suitable for three-phase BLDC motors, using six MOSFETS commanded through six bipolar transistors. Sensorless control is done in the software without any other external components.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Applications:&lt;/strong&gt; Consumer electronics, ranging from small HVAC applications to complex media reading/writing drives.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;The BLDC Motor add-on is a simple development accessory that plugs directly into the F1 Evaluation Platform (DM164130-1) or F1  LV Evaluation Platform (DM164130-5) and incorporates all the components necessary to implement Brushless DC motor control.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BLDC add-on (DM164130-2) allows you to drive virtually most sensorless three-phase brushless DC motors used in consumer electronics, ranging from small HVAC applications to complex media reading/writing drives. The add-on is shipped together with the ebm-papst BLDC motor, to which it connects through a ribbon cable to a special connector on the board (J5). Alternatively, any other 5-12V BLDC motor can be used by hooking it up through the J2 connector.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BLDC add-on uses a typical three half-bridges control configuration suitable for three-phase BLDC motors, using six MOSFETS commanded through six bipolar transistors. Sensorless control is done in the software without any other external components.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Applications:&lt;/strong&gt; Consumer electronics, ranging from small HVAC applications to complex media reading/writing drives.&lt;/p&gt;
