MIKROE has introduced BLDC FOC 2 Click, a motor control Click board designed for automotive and electric vehicle embedded systems that use low-voltage brushless dc motors.
The board supports development and evaluation of auxiliary motor applications commonly found in EV platforms, including cooling fans, pumps, and other electrically driven subsystems.
BLDC FOC 2 Click provides control of three-phase BLDC motors using field-oriented control techniques to support smooth operation, efficiency, and reduced acoustic noise.
The compact Click board format enables rapid proof-of-concept development and prototyping using standardized hardware and software interfaces.
The board is based on Allegro Microsystems’ A89307 automotive-grade BLDC motor controller, which supports output currents up to 15 A across a voltage range of 4.4 to 30 V. It offers multiple operating modes, including constant speed, torque, power, and open-loop control, along with configuration via EEPROM and an I2C interface for parameter setting, on/off control, and speed feedback. The controller also integrates soft-start and soft-stop functionality, protection features, and both analog and digital control options.
BLDC FOC 2 Click is part of MIKROE’s mikroBUS-enabled Click board ecosystem and includes ClickID functionality for automatic board identification. The board is compatible with host systems that support the mikroBUS standard and works with mikroSDK open-source libraries for evaluation, development, and customization.
