2 TMAG5115EVM Hardware

The TMAG5115EVM is a simple to use platform for evaluating the main features and performance of the TMAG5115. The EVM features a couple of methods of device evaluation, the first being quick visual feedback to the user in the form of LED indication. When the device's BOP and BRP thresholds are crossed, their respective LED lights turn on and off. An alternative way of evaluating the TMAG5115 is by using the EVM to commutate a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. The TMAG5115EVM follows a standard form factor for the Hall-effect sensor boards found in various NEMA17 BLDC motors. This means the EVM can be used as a direct drop-in replacement for these boards and can be used to evaluate device performance in this way.

Features:

  • Standard sensor control board dimensions for drop-in replacement in most NEMA17 42-mm BLDC motors

  • Includes a handheld D3X8 magnet for manual testing

  • Provides LED feedback to quickly determine the output state from the TMAG5115
