Motor Control I/O Board User’s Manual

1. Introduction

The low-voltage starter kit for motor control (MC-LVKIT-714) is a complete 3-phase motor control evaluation system for NEC Electronics’ microcontroller-type, application-specific standard products (ASSPs) for motor control.

The kit contains all necessary hardware and software to quickly set up and run a low-voltage brushless DC motor (BLDCM).
