Mikroelektronika MIKROE-2847 BLDC Sensorless Motor Driver Click Board ATmega8A MCU

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-2847):

MIKROE-2847 ATmega8A. Complete driving and control of BLDC sensorless motors in both directions. Easy to use PWM signal. Brushless 6 click is designed to drive a three-phase sensorless, brushless motor, also known as the BLDC motor. The motor rotation is controlled by receiving driving commands via the incoming PWM signal. This click board fully controls the rotation of the BLDC motor by utilizing the onboard MCU ATmega8A, an 8-bit MCU from Microchip. The onboard MCU outputs are not adequate to power the coils of the BLDC motor directly, so this MCU is used to control the power circuitry, instead. This circuit consists of 6 MOSFET transistors, used to switch the power from an external power source to the appropriate stator coils. The advantages of BLDC motors over other types of DC motors are many. Thanks to their contactless design, BLDC motors last longer and because of their superior rotational speed and torque properties, BLDC motors are widely used for high-speed, lightweight applications such as drive motors for drones, electronic cooling equipment, small house appliances, robotics and similar applications. The Brushless 6 click provides an easy and elegant solution for driving BLDC motors.
