Development System (MC MDS) daughter board mounted on a 3-Phase Motor Control
Application Board (see Figure 1). The MC MDS board consists of a 64LQFP Z16FMC
chip and a DBG connector to connect the kit to a host development PC via the USB Smart
Cable. The 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board provides spade lug connectors for
the 3-phase motor and fused spade lug connectors for an adjustable 24 V DC, 3 A work-
bench power source.
This document guides you through the following elements:
Power supply requirements to power the 3-phase motor supplied with the kit
How to run the kit's preloaded sample code in standalone mode
How to connect the kit to your development PC
