System Overview.
To use the MTD6508 Demonstration Board Kit with the MTD6508 Demonstration Board
Software GUI, these steps should be followed:
1. Plug the MTD6508 Daughter Board into its dedicated socket on the MTD6508
Demonstration Board (see Figure 2-1).
2. To plug in a 3-phase BLDC sensorless fan, choose one of these connections:
- The 3-phase fan connector on the MTD6508 Demonstration Board (J1)
- The fan connector on the MTD6508 Daughter Board
3. Connect the power supply to the V_IN test point. The required V_IN value is
+6V ±5%. The power supply has to deliver up to 1.0A.
4. Turn on the power switch. The Power LED and the MCU LED should light up.
5. Plug a mini-USB cable attached to the USB port of a computer to the MTD6508
Demonstration Board connector.
6. If required, let the computer identify the MTD6508 Demonstration Board.
7. Restart the computer if necessary.
8. Start the MTD6508 Demonstration Board Software GUI.
Note: The order of these steps is provided as an example and can be changed.
It is also possible to start the MTD6508 Demonstration Board Software GUI
before enabling the board.
