1 Introduction

MOTORSTUDIO is an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) that simplifies the tuning process of TI's Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drivers to reduce device evaluation and product development time. The FOC algorithm requires the values of motor phase resistance, motor phase inductance and motor BEMF constant, etc to run the motor efficiently. This document describes how users can obtain these values and configure the MCF83xx to run a given motor. MOTORSTUDIO also enables users to quickly spin up BLDC motors and optimize various stages of motor operation to achieve highest motor performance, stable motor startup and minimal noise.

Note: This document is ONLY an introductory guide to getting started with MOTORSTUDIO. The document does not include any guide for the further optimizations.
