BLDC FOC 2 Click is a new motor control Click board™ from MIKROE, the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards. The compact Click add-on boards enable developers to rapidly provide proof-of-concept, then prototype and code new embedded projects. BLDC FOC 2 Click provides provides robust and reliable control of three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors using advanced Field-Oriented Control (FOC) techniques, ensuring smooth operation, high efficiency and low acoustic noise.
Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “This new Click board is ideal for automotive and industrial applications such as battery cooling fans, radiator fans, and fuel or oil pump control systems. It is part of our 140+ strong family of motor control Click boards and over 850 projects – with working code – featuring the BLDC FOC 2 Click can be found on MIKROE’s embedded projects platform, EmbeddedWiki.”
BLDC FOC 2 Click is based on the A89307, an automotive FOC BLDC motor controller from Allegro Microsystems, designed to deliver up to 15A of output current across a wide voltage range from 4.4V to 30V. It supports multiple operating modes, including constant speed, torque, power and open-loop control, while offering flexible configuration via EEPROM and I2C interface for parameter setting, ON/OFF control and speed feedback. It also integrates Allegro’s proprietary Soft-On Soft-Off (SOSO) feature for quiet transitions, comprehensive protection mechanisms, and both analog and digital control mode.
BLDC FOC 2 Click is a recent addition to MIKROE’s 1900-strong mikroBUS™-enabled Click board family. The board also features the ClickID function which enables automatic identification by the host system, simplifying use. Devices can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS™ standard, and come with the mikroSDK open-source libraries, offering excellent flexibility for evaluation and customization.
