drives. The driver stage consists of three half-bridges capable of 72V / 30A. The shunt resistor and other components such as
electrolytic capacitors limit the maximum current to 10A. Use sufficient wire gauge for the power line between the board and
the power supply or battery, and between the phase outputs of the board and the motor.
Note:
Before using a battery as a supply, make sure that the supply circuit is fused by a sufficient current class fuse!

4 Preparation of operation
1. Connect the 3 phase Motor to the jacks „PH1“, „PH2“ and „PH3“ (usually called „U“, „V“, „W“). Make sure the motor is well
fastened
2. Connect the PC via USB-Cable and make sure the virtual COM port connection is established (for details see chapter 7 and
the document „FTDI_Drivers_Installation_Guide_for_WindowsXP/7/Vista“ on the support CD in this package)
3. Connect the Power Supply or battery on „POW“+ and „POW-“.
4. Run the motor control software on the computer.
The recent delivered software is a GUI- supported application. The software uses a virtual COM Port emulation via USB to start
and stop motor rotation, to set the motor type, speed, commutation type, regulation settings and other parameters, and to
show status information. The board is „ready to use“ with the stored flash memory content (microcode).

6 Board description
The E523.52 is a fully integrated pre- driver solution for brushless motor applications with an automotive and industrial compatible input voltage range and high temperature capability. Included in the IC are all necessary power supplies, six 500mA
gate drivers, one current sense amplifier, and a 16bit microcontroller with various motor control relevant hardware modules
designed to support EC-motor commutation algorithms such as block and sinusoidal commutation based on Back-EMF or external sensors.
This demonstration board presents the E523.52 in a typical motor control application including a B6 power stage. In addition
the board offers:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Inrush current limiter.
Access to GPIO Pins PC2, 4, PC5, PC6, PC7.
A programming / debugging interface via 2-Wire JTAG.
Galvanic isolated USB interface for communication with a personal computer.
A back EMF divider for back EMF algorithms.
A speed regulator potentiometer (software support is required)
6.1 Power part
The three half bridges are able to deliver up to 30A per phase, limited to 10A max. by the shunt, the maximum ripple current
through the tank capacitors and the connectors, so the average current of each of the three phases should not exceed 10A. The
board operates in an input voltage range of 12 to 72V, typical 12 – 48V. The board consists of the Supply parts (reverse polarity
protection, inrush current limiter and tank capacitors), the driver parts (one half bridge with gate resistors, bleed- off circuits
and snubber networks per phase), the shunt for motor current measurement and the connectors for Power Supply, motor and
interfaces. For higher output current, the supply line and the motor wires must be soldered to the PCB directly, and the tank
circuit is to be enhanced by larger capacity Low-ESR capacitors.
The Power MOSFET T7, the rectifier diodes D7 - D9, the RC- filter R14 and C1 and the current limiting resistor R2 form the inrush current limiter. During startup, the supply capacitors C2, C3, C16 and C17 will be charged by the current- limiting resistor
to the input voltage. The current flow through the board’s components is low until the startup sequence in the IC is passed.
After the startup sequence the IC becomes active and delivers gate pulses to the half-bridge MOSFETs, that drive the Gate of
T7 also, and T7 enables the high- current path to the power part and the motor. In case of any failure in the gate control of
the half-bridges, T7 turns off, and the current is limited by R5. This way, most of the parts in the power circuitry are protected
against excessive currents.
6.2 Control part
The controller part consists of the E523.52 itself, the peripheral elements for the gate control outputs, the DC-DC- buck converter for powering the E523.52 and its low-side drivers and the bootstrap elements for the high-side gate drivers.
The supply voltage is regulated to the internal supply for the gate drivers (VG) of approx. 11V by the DC-DC step-down converter using the E523.52 internal switch and regulator elements. The internal supply voltages of 3.3V and 1.8V are generated by onchip LDO regulators, so the peripheral circuitry of the power supply of the E523.52 is robust, simple and uses a few parts only.
For programming the On-chip flash memory with the application software (firmware), a 2-wire JTAG interface can be used.
This interface is designed to support the external flash programmer by MAZ Brandenburg. It is recommended to use this programmer for software implementation.

7 Software implementation and setup
Since the E523.52 is a BLDC motor controller with a built-in 16 bit microcontroller, the operating mode and parameters for
the chosen motor must be programmed in the µC core of the E523.52. The software must be tailored to the motor in order to
choose the commutation mode, motor speed, motor start mode, over current shutdown etc. For details, see section 6 in this
document.
To program the internal microcontroller part, the board can be powered by a low-current power source of 140mA with no
motor connected. For programming (writing to the flash memory), the solder joint SJ1 must be 2-3 connected or open. After
programming the flash memory, the SJ1 solder joint has to be 1-2 connected (input pin TMODE to Ground (default setting).
After programming, the communication between an USB- connected PC and the demonstration board can be used to check
system status and to change parameters (depending on the implementation of functions) in a terminal session using the onboard USB – UART converter circuit. Note that the USB ↔ serial communication is possible only after setting up a virtual COM
port via the driver emulation in Windows ® PC’s. For other operating systems, refer to the operating system manual.
7.1 Setup of virtual COM port
1. make sure you have got administrator- level rights to the target Windows ® PC
2. run the file setup.exe from the directory drivers on the support CD to install the virtual COM Port driver for the FTDI
USB-to-RS232 interface. To be on the safe side, reboot the PC after the virtual COM port installation.
3. connect the E523.52 demonstration board via USB to the PC
4. check the device manager to determine the COM port of the E523.52 demonstration board (fig. 2). To open the device
manager in Windows ® XP or higher click the „start“- button and choose „run“. In the new window type „devmgmt.msc“
<Enter>. The following window should appear (Windows ® XP, german version):
Figure 2. Serial port device in device manager
5. install LabVIEW runtime and the LabVIEW driver set according to the LabVIEW installation information. It is not necessary to connect the target PC to the Internet during the installation process - the online- update feature should not be
used to ensure that the most compatible version of LabVIEW is used. To install the LabVIEW runtime and drivers, select
the setup tools from the LABVIEW directory on the support CD. After the installation is completed, reboot the PC.
6. copy the content of the folder “gui software” from the support- CD to a local directory on the computer’s harddisk and
run the executable 52305_gui_eonas_15_08_14.exe. Use the selection dropdown box to select the right COM port to
enable communication between the PC and the demoboard. Use the parameter table to select and change the motor
parameters. Since there is a lot of different motor types, it is necessary to tune the motor to achieve optimal regulation
characteristics.

7.3 Parameter setting
The set of parameters that can be used to adjust or change the motor behavior depends on the motor type, desired regulation
type and rotational speed characteristic, and is very complex. Since there is a lot of 3-phase BLDC motors, it is not possible to
recommend a standard set of parameters that will fit all types of motors. For the first trials, a set of parameters for a small
BLDC made by ebmpapast is available. This set of parameters can be loaded for initial successful start. Changes in the parameters can be stored to the integrated motor controller inside the E523.05, and can be loaded from the device to the GUI to get
an overview of possible values of the motor parameters. Every demo board is checked with the ebmpapst motor at Elmos during the tests of the board, and the motor parameters are stored in the E523.05 controller.
