Quick Start
The following steps show the operation to spin a motor.
- step 1. Connect motor phases and Hall sensor bias, ground and signal outputs.
The rotational direction determination is shown in Table 2. Terminals are provided with: - For motor phases
- Through halls UO, VO and WO inside the circle,
- Pins UO, WO and VO, or
- Pin header CON1 pin 1, 2 and 3 for U, V and W individually (Hirose DF1-8)
- Hall sensor bias
- Pin HB and Pin GND
- Pin header CON1 pin 4 and 5 for HB and GND individually
- Hall sensor signal
- Pins IN1 and IN2
- Pin header CON1 pin 6 and 7 for IN1 and IN2 individually
- step 2. Connect PWM signal to PWM pin of the board.
The connection points, described in step 1 and 2, are shown in figure 2 and 3. - step 3. Set appropriate duty cycle of PWM.
- step 4. Connect power supply, and turn it on.
That’s all.

Minimum Duty Cycle Setting
To set the minimum duty cycle, a user needs to solder chip resistors.
The minimum duty cycle for disable (stop) DMIND is determined by the voltage level VMDS at MDS pin. 
There is 6% of histeresisy between enable (start) and disable (stop) tarnsistions.
= + 6
The voltage level VMDS in this board is determined by resistors.
Lead angle tuning
To tune the lead angle, a user needs to solder chip resistors. The minimum lead angle at the lowest rotational speed P0 is determined by the voltage level VPH1 at PH1 pin.
The lead angle P is dynamically adjusted with respect to FG frequency fFG.
The voltage levels VPH1 and VPH2 in this board are determined by resistors.
- The calculating formula of the adjustment of MDS and PH1,PH2 becomes the reference level. Please confirm real movement with a motor to use.
