2 Hardware overview Please refer to schematics, layout and BOM available at http://www.atmel.com. The MC300 motor control driver board is a power stage board intended for driving BLDC and stepper motors. It has four half-bridges with independent control of high and low sides. Each bridge has options for filtered/voltage divided feedback from its output (EMF) and shunt resistor. There is also feedback from a common shunt resistor, Vmotor (Vm) and Vneutral (Vn - center tap motor win

AVR430 2.2 Connections Figure 2-1. MC300 with device board, connector details and prototype board fitted. 2.2.1 Device board connector The MC300 driver board can directly connect to an AVR device board. This is accomplished by a horizontal female 0.1” pin header connector located on the left side of the board, shown in Figure 2-1. The device board interface on MC300 connector is split into four eight-pin connectors. Electric schematics and mechanical specifications are shown in

AVR430 3.1.1 Phase area Each phase has its own area with a frame drawn on silkscreen. In Figure 3-2 the area for phase ‘V’ is shown, and everything inside this frame regards this phase only. Figure 3-2. Phase ‘V’ area on MC300 PCB. From the left we see: 1. Shunt filter/damping block – denoted ‘Sh’ 2. Back EMF filter/damping block – denoted ‘EMF’ 3. Shunt resistor testpoints – denoted ‘-‘ and ‘+’ (above shunt resistor) 4. Bootstrap voltage testpoint – denoted ‘Vboot’ 5. MOS Gate

4 Detailed description 4.1 Power The MC300 has two power circuits. Vin for powering driver ICs and voltage regulators, and Vmotor (Vm) for powering the output stage (MOSFETs). The separate power supply for the motor, Vm, allows the use of motor voltages outside the voltage range of the driver ICs. This also isolates noise generated by the output stage/motor. There is a separate ground plane for each power circuit, GND for Vin and GNDmotor (GNDm) for Vm. This is done to separate t

AVR430 4.1.4 Hall sensors VHall (VHa) is available on J7 as power source for Hall sensors, typically found on BLDC motors. With J1 VHa can be connected to Vcc or to a 5V regulator (U2). A separate 5V regulator for the Hall sensors is included so Vcc can be 3,3V while using Hall sensors, since most Hall sensors will not work on 3,3V. 4.2 Half bridges The half bridge consists of two n-channel power MOSFETs, driven by an integrated high and low side driver IC (IR2101S). The integrate

4.3 Shunts The board is shipped with a common shunt resistor (ShCom - R62) of 0,050 ohm and the four phase shunt resistors are zero ohm resistors, shown in Figure 4-3. This allows for measurement of the total current going to ground via all half bridges. Figure 4-3. Shunt resistor network. If current measurements of separate phases are required, the common shunt should be changed to a zero ohm resistor and the zero ohm resistors on each phase (ShU - R27, ShV - R38, ShW - R49 an

AVR430 4.4 Back-EMF For sensorless applications, the driving logic uses back EMF from the motor’s phases to keep track of the motor position. To observe the back EMF from a phase, the phase is left floating, i.e. with the high or low side MOS not powered, and the voltage on the phase is read. For motors with center tap, Vn (V neutral) provides feedback to device board. 4.4.1 Back-EMF feedback filters Each phase (U/V/W/X) and the center tap (Vn) are fed via a filter/damping block t

4.5 Upgrading the MC300 As the board is shipped, its limitations are Vm =40V and Im =6A. These limits can max max be increased by replacing the relevant components (not included). 4.5.1 Voltage limitations If a Vm higher than 40V is required, then some components must be changed on max the board. Components limiting Vm, listed with lowest voltage ratings first, are shown in Table 4-1. Table 4-1. Components influenced by Vm. Component designator(s) Component name Limiting param
