1.2 MTD6501C DAUGHTER BOARD FEATURES
The MTD6501C Daughter Board can be used as standalone board (see
Section 2.1 “Getting Started”) but it is strongly recommended to use the MTD6501C
Daughter Board with the help of the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan
Controller Demonstration Board (ADM00532).
The MTD6501C 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Daughter Board allows
the control and monitoring of Microchip 12V fan driver devices, such as the MCP8063
or MTD6501. The MTD6501C 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Daughter
Board is controlled through PC software, via a USB connection.
The MTD6501C 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Daughter Boards Soft-
ware 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.
