dsPIC33 Development Systems
Motor Control Starter Kit (MCSK)
with mTouch Sensing (DM330015)
This starter kit with mTouch
sensing is a complete, integrated
development platform based on the
dsPIC33FJ16MC102. It includes a USB
interfaced debugger programmer, a complete drive circuit
featuring Microchip’s TC4428 dual 1.5A gate drivers,
an on-board BLDC motor, a user-configurable switch and
an mTouch slider with LED indicators for speed control.
Simply power the board using the included 9V supply and
the pre-loaded code begins to execute.
dsPICDEM™ MCSM Stepper Motor: Motor Control
Development Board/Kit (DM330022)/(DV330021)
This development board is intended for
low-voltage (up to 80 volts at 3 amps)
2-phase uni-polar or bi-polar stepper
motor (4, 6 or 8 wire) applications. It
provides a low-cost system for users
to evaluate and develop applications
using dsPIC33 motor control DSCs
via a Plug-In Module (PIM) or 28-pin
SOIC socket. A USB serial interface
for RTDM is provided. Feedback
support includes current and voltage. Demo software
to run motors in open-loop or closed-loop with full or
variable micro-stepping is provided. A DMCI/RTDM GUI
for controlling step commands, motor parameter input
and operation modes is included. The kit also includes a
stepper motor and a 24-volt power supply. MPLAB ICD 3
In-Circuit Debugger or MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator
is required for programming or debugging operations.
dsPICDEM MCLV-2 Development Board (DM330021-2)
This development board is intended
for low-voltage (up to 48 volts at 10
amps) BLDC sensored or sensorless
applications. It provides a low-cost
system for users to evaluate and
develop applications using dsPIC33F/E motor control DSCs
via a Plug-In Module (PIM) or 28-pin SOIC socket. With the
MCLV-2, either the internal on-chip op amps or the external
op amps on the MCLV-2 board can be used. Microchip
provides PIMs for using either the internal or external
op amps. The MCLV-2 is fully backwards-compatible with
the original MCLV and all Motor Control Processor Plug-In
Modules (PIMs). Serial interfaces include RS-232C, CAN,
LIN and USB (for RTDM). Feedback support includes Hall-
Effect Sensors, Shaft Encoder, Back EMF voltages and
single or dual shunt resistors for current. PICkit™ 3 Debug
Express, MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger or MPLAB REAL
ICE In-Circuit Emulator is required for programming or
debugging operations.
dsPICDEM MCHV-2 Development System
(DM330023-2)
This development system is intended
for high-voltage (up to 400 volts at
6.5 amps) BLDC, PMSM and ACIM
sensored or sensorless applications.
It provides a low-cost Integrated Power
Module (IPM) based system for users
to evaluate and develop applications using dsPIC33F/E
motor control DSCs via a Plug-In Module (PIM) or a 28-pin
SOIC socket. With the MCLV-2, either the internal on-chip
op amps or the external op amps on the MCLV-2 board
can be used. Microchip provides PIMs for using either
the internal or external op amps. The MCLV-2 is fully
backwards-compatible with the original MCLV and all Motor
Control Processor Plug-In Modules (PIMs). Isolated serial
interfaces include RS-232C and USB (for RTDM). Feedback
support includes Hall-Effect Sensors, Shaft Encoder, Back
EMF voltages and single or dual current shunt resistors.
A PFC circuit is provided to meet regulatory requirements.
An isolated built-in debugger (similar to a starter kit
programmer/debugger) permits a direct connection
with a PC.
