Mikroe BLDC FOC Click
Mikroe BLDC FOC Click features the Texas Instruments MCF8329A sensorless Field Oriented Control (FOC) three-phase BLDC gate driver for code-free control of three-phase BLDC and PMSM motors. The MCF8329A integrates three half-bridge gate drivers for driving the on-board STL120N4F6AG power MOSFETs and supports a 5V to 30V input supply range. The device includes an internal charge pump, a bootstrap circuit, and a trickle charge pump for 100% duty-cycle operation.
The BLDC FOC Click offers configurable motor startup and stop options, closed-loop speed, power, current, or modulation index control, flux-weakening, MTPA support, EEPROM-stored standalone configuration, and I2C communication with diagnostic, monitoring, and protection features.
The Mikroe BLDC FOC Click is designed for applications such as BLDC motor modules, cordless vacuum cleaners, appliance fans and pumps, washer and dishwasher pumps, and cordless garden and power tools.
