MC121EVM
MC121 evaluation module
MC121EVM
Overview
The MC121EVM enables users to evaluate the performance of the MC121 and MC121-Q1 single phase BLDC driver. The EVM includes an on-board FTDI chip to convert USB communication, from the PC, into UART. An on-board MSP430FR2355 microcontroller (MCU) translates the UART communication into either control signals or I2C formatted data, which is sent to the MC121 or MC121-Q1 in the application PCB. There are many userselectable jumpers, resistors, connectors, and test points to assist with evaluating the many features of the MC121 or MC121-Q1 and the configurable device-specific settings.
Features
- One time programmable (OTP) write capability
- GUI software to simplify the MC121 and MC121-Q1 tuning procedure and performance evaluation
