To use the MTD6505 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board,
follow the next steps:
1. Plug in the MTD6505 plug-in module (with an MTD6505 soldered on it) on its
socket (see Figure 2-1).
2. To plug in a 3-Phase BLDC sensorless fan, choose one of these connections:
- 3-Phase fan connector from the MTD6505 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan
Controller Demonstration Board (J5)
- On the MTD6505 plug-in module fan connector.
3. Connect the Power Supply to the V
IN
test point. V
IN
value is +6V ±5%. The
Power Supply should be able to deliver up to 1.0A.
4. Turn on the power switch. The POWER LED should be activated.
5. Plug the mini-USB cable from the USB port of a computer to the MTD6505
3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board connector.
6. If required, let the computer identify the MTD6505 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless
Fan Controller Demonstration Board.
7. Restart the computer, if required.
8. Start the MTD6505 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration
Board Software.
Note: Once the MTD6505 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller
Demonstration Board Software is installed, it will automatically detect if the
MTD6505 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board
is attached and its configuration. This means it is possible to start the
MTD6505 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board
Software before or after enabling the board.
