 | Kit Overview The dsPICDEMTM MCLV Development Board DM330021 provides a cost-effective method of evaluating and developing sensored or sensorless Brushless DC (BLDC) and permanent magnet synchronous motor control applications. The board supports Microchip’s 28-pin SOIC and 100-pin Plug-In-Modules with dsPIC33F Digital Signal Controllers. A dsPIC33FJ32MC204 based PIM (MA330017 ) is included. The board is capable of controlling motors rated up to 48V and 15 Amps, with multiple communication channels such as USB, CAN, LIN and RS-232.
The dsPICDEMTM MCLV Development Board is targeted to control a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor or Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) in sensor or sensorless operation. This flexible and cost-effective board can be configured in different ways for use with Microchip’s specialized motor control digital signal controllers. The dsPICDEMTM MCLV Development Board supports the dsPIC33F motor control device family. It offers a mounting option to connect either a 28-pin SOIC device or a generic 100-pin Plug-In Module (PIM). A dsPIC33FJ32MC204 based PIM (MA330017 ) is included. The board also has a three-phase inverter bridge circuit. The circuit drives a BLDC or PMSM motor using different control techniques without requiring any additional hardware. The dsPICDEMTM MCLV Development Board DM330021 Supports AC002013 24V Power supply Plug-in card.
