OVERVIEW
The Microchip dsPICDEM MCHV-2 Development Board is intended to aid the user in
the rapid evaluation and development of a wide variety of motor control applications
using PIC24 Microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC
This development system is targeted to control Brushless DC (BLDC) motors, Perma-
nent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM), and AC Induction Motors (ACIM) in sensor
or sensorless operation.
This flexible and cost-effective tool can be configured in different ways for use with
Microchip’s specialized Motor Control devices. The dsPICDEM MCHV-2 Development
Board is essentially a backward-compatible upgraded version of the dsPICDEM MCHV
Development System. The dsPICDEM MCHV-2 Development Board is designed to
support the PIC24F, PIC24E, dsPIC33F, and dsPIC33E Motor Control device families,
and offers a mounting option to connect a generic 100-pin Plug-In Module (PIM).
The system has a three-phase power module device that contains the motor inverter
and the gate driver’s circuitry. The circuit drives a BLDC, PMSM, or ACIM motor using
different control techniques without requiring any additional hardware. It also has
Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in order to provide a full set of tools used in
motor control applications.

The rated continuous output current from the inverter is 6.5A (RMS). This allows up to
approximately 2 kVA output when running from a 208V to 230V single-phase input volt-
age in a maximum 30ºC (85ºF) ambient temperature environment. Therefore, the sys-
tem is ideally suited for running a standard 3-Phase Induction Motor of up to 1.4 kW
(1.8 HP) rating or a slightly higher rated industrial servo-motor. The power module is
capable of driving other types of motors and electrical loads that do not exceed the
maximum power limit and are predominantly inductive. Furthermore, single-phase
loads can be driven using one or two of the inverter outputs.
The unit is capable of operating from 90V up to a maximum of 265V. A more detailed
explanation of power limitations is provided in
