TMC603-EVAL

TMC603 Evaluation Board

The TMC603-EVAL makes it possible to evaluate all features of the TMC603 three phase motor driver including BLDC back EMF commutation hallFX™. A PC software running under Windows enables to modify the configuration for every three phase BLDC motor.

For the evaluation with hallFX feature choose firmware version V1.47.

For evaluation with encoder and hall sensors choose firmware version V2.05 (Field Oriented Control).

To operate the board, only a BLDC motor, a PC, and a power supply are required!
