INTRODUCTION
The Microchip dsPIC30F Motor Control Development Board has been designed to aid
the user in the rapid evaluation and development of motor control applications using
the Motor Control parts of the dsPIC
variant in the dsPIC family has been designed in.
The board may be used in two different ways. First is to interface to one of the custom
power modules that have been developed to complement the control board. The
interface is via the 37-pin, D-type connector J1. In this way, all the user has to supply
is a motor and they are ready to go without having to worry about the power stage and
signal conditioning. The power module has its own FAULT protection and signal isola-
tion circuitry. There are many different feedback signals that the user can select
between to customize the system to their intended application. These are selected
internally within the power module.
The second use of the board is for customers who already have their own power stage
but are interested in evaluating the dsPIC MCU in their application. In this instance, the
user can easily interface to their own system via the connectors provided on the board.
Although targeted primarily at motor control applications, the board is also well suited
to static power conversion applications, such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS),
Power Factor Correctors (PFC) and Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS).
