To use the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration
Board Kit, these steps should be followed:
1. Plug in the MCP8063 Daughter Board on its socket (see
).
2. To plug in a 3-phase BLDC sensorless fan, use the MCP8063 Daughter Board fan
connector. Note that the connection can be done in normal or reverse mode. If the
fan rotates in reverse mode, the connector can be flipped to rotate in normal mode.
3. Start the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller
Demonstration Board software.
4. Plug the mini-USB cable from the USB port of a computer to the MCP8063 12V
3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board connector. The
LED indicating a ON state will light up.
5. If required, let the computer identify the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC
Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board. Once the USB connection is
ready, the USB LED will light up
and remain on for as long as the USB connection
is active.
6. Restart the computer, if required.
7. Connect the power supply to the V
IN
test point. The V
IN
value is 18V ±10%. The
power supply should be able to deliver up to 1.0A. The GUI should report the V
IN
value of the board.
