1 Overview
The Nuvoton Low Voltage Motor Development Module using MOSFET power
stage (Nu-LVMDM-MOS) is used to accelerate product development by providing
ready-to-run hardware and a comprehensive Motor Development Adapter
(Nu-MDA-xxx).
The power supply can be connected to the power connector terminal (J4) or the
Auxiliary Power Tab Fast-On Connector terminals (P4-P5).
The components on the board that receive power are described as follows:
Gate drivers receive +15V power from a +15V regulator
OP Amplifiers receive +8V power from a +8V regulator
MCU motor control device receives +5V power from a +5V regulator
LCD Display receives +3.3V power from a +3.3V regulator

2 Introduction to Nu-LVMDM-MOS
The Nu-LVMDM-MOS is targeted to control a brushless DC (BLDC) motor or
permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in sensor or sensorless operation.
This flexible and cost-effective module can be configured in different ways for use
with Nuvoton’s specialized motor control Microcontrollers (MCUs).
The Nu-LVMDM-MOS supports the Mini51, M051, and MT530 motor control
device families. It offers a mounting option to connect a generic 80-pin Plug-In
Module (PIM). The Nu-LVMDM-MOS also has a three-phase inverter bridge
circuit. The circuit drives a BLDC or PMSM motor using different control
techniques without requiring any additional hardware.
The board includes various circuitries to perform the following functions:
Drive a three-phase inverter that powers the motor phase windings
Measure feedback signals (e.g. voltage and phase currents) and provide a
suitable fault signal
Interface with Hall sensor or quadrature encoder for sensor-based
commutation
Communicate with a host computer or an external device via USB interface
Support motors with terminal voltage up to 36V and current up to 20A.
Note: If the output power exceeds 100W, the power MOSFETs (Q1-Q6) may
need a larger heat sink.
