Platform User’s Guide
1. Introduction
The Freedom development platform is a set of software
and hardware tools for evaluation and development. It is
ideal for rapid prototyping of microcontroller-based
applications.
The FRDM-MC-LVBLDC low-voltage evaluation
board, in a shield form factor, effectively turns a
Freedom development platform into a complete motor
control reference design, compatible with existing
Freedom development platforms, FRDM-KV31F and
FRDM-KV10Z, and the low-cost motor FRDM-MC-
LVMTR.
The FRDM-MC-LVBLDC shield board implements a 3-
phase Brushless DC (BLDC) interface platform that
adds BLDC motor control capabilities, such as
rotational or linear motion, to your design applications.
