Evaluation Board

Microchipoffers a variety of evaluation boards to accommodate various motor specifications.
Below is an overview of some of the evaluation boards.
*In actual development, we will propose the most suitable evaluation environment for our customers.

１．DSPICDEM™ MCHV-3 DEVELOPMENT BOARD (HIGH VOLTAGE)

https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/dm330023-3

Applicable motors: Brushless DC (BLDC) motors / Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) / AC induction motors (ACIM)
*Regardless of whether it is sensored or sensorless

Motor voltage: 85V~265V

Overview: This evaluation board is designed for high-voltage (48V or higher) motor MCUs manufactured by Microchip.
It is possible to drive a three-phase motor using a three-phase integrated power module (IPM) device and various control methods.
Furthermore, it is equipped with a power factor correction circuit (PFC) to meet power regulatory requirements.

2．MCS MCLV-48V-300W Development Board

https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/ev18h47a

Applicable motors: Brushless DC (BLDC) motors / Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM)
*Regardless of whether it is sensored or sensorless

Motor voltage: 12V~48V

overview: 12~48VThis is a low-voltage evaluation board for that purpose.
The control MCU can be replaced with multiple model numbers simply by swapping out the controller board {dual inline module (DIM)}.It is possible to evaluate this.
The following are available for use.DIMThis is part of it.
*DIM is What is a Development Board? You will need to purchase it separately.

・dsPIC33CK256MP508 Motor Control DIM
・dsPIC33AK128MC106 Motor Control DIM
SAM C21 Motor Control DIM

3．Multi-Phase Power Board

https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/EV35Z86A

Target motor Stepping motor / Brushless DC (BLDC) motor
*Regardless of whether it is sensored or sensorless

Motor voltage: 6V to 50V

Overview: A board designed for 3-phase BLDC motors.
Supporting up to 4 phases, it's ideal for controlling stepping motors. It enables sine wave and trapezoidal wave motor control, regardless of sensor presence.
*To use the Multi-Phase Power Board, you will need to purchase the following Curiosity Nano Board and adapter board as a set.

・AVR16EB32 CURIOSITY NANO EVALUATION KIT
・AVR16EB32-CNANO MPPB-Adapter

Debugger

MicrochipWhen using the evaluation board manufactured by [company name],USBYou can write via this method, but otherwise, use the following MPLAB®PICkit5, MPLAB® ICD5By purchasing one of these two units,MicrochipThis enables writing to and debugging of the device.

This single device supports debugging and programming of all Microchip devices, including PIC, AVR, SAM, and Arm Cortex-based MPUs.
• Smartphone connectivity: Equipped with built-in Bluetooth®, it is possible to program the device (Programmer-to-Go) from the smartphone app "MPLAB PTG".
• Programmer-to-Go (PTG): Both models feature a function that allows programming on-site without a PC (equipped with a microSD card slot).

MPLAB® PICkit™ 5 In-Circuit Debugger
Connection method: USB Type-C
• Small, lightweight, and easy to carry.
