1 Introduction

The MC303 is the device board for ATxmega128A1 AVR® microcontroller which

can be connected to the general-purpose power stage board MC300 for driving

brushless DC, brushed DC and stepper motors. This board is also designed to be

connected on any other driver board which could share the same interface. Power

and all signals needed for a power stage board are available on the right side of

the board. Jumpers allow demonstrating sensor or sensorless modes of motor

control. Finally, interfaces like USB or Atmel DB101 Display module is also

available.

2 Hardware overview

Please refer to schematics, layout and BOM available at http://www.atmel.com.

The MC303 motor control processor board is an ATxmega128A1 AVR microcontroller

solution connected to a power stage board intended for driving DC motors (Brushless

or brushed). All signals coming from the power stage board are connected to the

microcontroller either directly or through jumpers for sensorless or sensor

configuration. External comparators present on the board or internal comparators of

the ATxmega128A1 allow for sensorless control mode.

A potentiometer enables the user to control the motor: speed & direction in sensor

mode and speed only in sensorless mode.

A Usart to USB bridge is available to transfer motor control status & commands to a

PC software interface: Atmel Motor Control Center.

Three 2.54mm headers are available to add the Atmel DB101 Display module in

order to enhance visualization of motor control data & commands.

Three 8-pin & one 16-pin 2.54mm (100mil) horizontal male pin headers on the right

side of the board form a system connector for the power boards like MC300.

Both microcontrollers: ATxmega128A1 & AT90USB1287 have their own JTAG

interface for user’s specific developments.

Test points either mounted or not, are also available for instrumentation.

2.1 PCB Layout

The MC303 is organized as shown in Figure 2-1. Most signals, important components

and jumper information are written on the silk screen. Test points are also available

for user instrumentation. For individual component placement refer to the component

floor plan.

Figure 2-1. MC303 PCB layout.

In Figure 2-1 the following areas are marked:

1. Power board connector.

2. USB bridge

3. Atmel DB101 Display module headers

4. Potentiometer for manual command

2.2 Specifications

MC303 maximum ratings with components as delivered:

•Vcc = 3.3V, Imax = 0.5A

When working at Vcc 2.7V-3.3V, the user can keep USB functional by selecting

power supply for USB coming from VBUS rather than from Vcc.The selection is made

on the J11 jumper.

2.3 Connections

Figure 2-2. MC303 device board with power board MC300.

2.3.1 Power board connector

The MC303 processor board can connect directly to a driver board (typically the

MC300 power board). This is accomplished by a horizontal male pin header

connectors located on the right side of the board, shown in Figure 2-2.

The device board interface on MC303 connector is split into four eight-pin connectors.

Electric schematics and mechanical specifications are shown in Figure 2-3 and signal

description in Table 2-1.
