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.
