FAN CONTROLLER DAUGHTER BOARD
USERS GUIDE
Chapter 1. Product Overview
1.1 INTRODUCTION
In order to easily use the MTD6501D device, Microchip provides daughter boards for
each MTD6501 device version: MTD6501D, MTD6501G and MTD6501C. This
document covers the MTD6501D Daughter Board.
The MTD6501D Daughter Board is a small board with the minimum components that
are necessary to operate with the MTD6501D device.
The MTD6501D Daughter Boards are designed to be used with the ADM00532
motherboard, but can also be operated as standalone boards using their connectors.
The MTD6501D Daughter Boards come with a kit of three boards.
The MTD6501D Daughter Board footprint and connections are represented in
Figure 1-1.
FIGURE 1-1: MTD6501D Daughter Board Footprint and Connections.
Note: In order to operate with a 3-phase BLDC motor, ensure you have direct
access to the three phases (also called U, V, W) of the motor. See
Figure 1-3.
Note 1: R1 is the FG pull-up resistor
2: C1 is the V
DD
decoupling capacitor
3: C2 is the V
DD
decoupling capacitor
4: R2 sets the Boost pin to V
DD
. A 0 resistor shall be used to enable the Boost
function. See the MTD6501 data sheet for more information about the Boost pin.

1.2 MTD6501D DAUGHTER BOARD FEATURES
The MTD6501D Daughter Board can be used as standalone board (see
Section 2.1 “Getting Started”) but it is strongly recommended to use the MTD6501D
Daughter Board with the help of the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan
Controller Demonstration Board (ADM00532).
The MTD6501D 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Daughter Board Kit
allows the control and monitoring of Microchip 12V fan driver devices, such as the
MCP8063 or MTD6501. The MTD6501D 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan
Controller Daughter Board is controlled through PC software, via a USB connection.
The MTD6501D 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Daughter Board’s
software provides several features, such as:
Fan driver power supply control and monitoring
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) control
Speed and current consumption monitoring
Automatic application testing.
See more information about the MCP8063 kit on the Microchip website.
