BLDC_D28_Drv

Tiny driver stage for mounting on BLDC motors with 28/29mm diameters.

Highlights:

  • Specialized outline for mounting on BLDC motors with 28/29mm diameters. Can also be uesd as a general-purpose 3-phase bridge.
  • Features 3 bootstrap half-bridge driver with common footprint. TTL/CMOS logic input compatible.
  • Separated power supply for gate driver and motor power makes it capable to drive motors require high volatge.

Status:

Partially verified.

Questions

How big is the PCA9685brk PCB?

It measures 30 × 20.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PCA9685brk use?

23 parts, built around the PCA9685PW. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the PCA9685brk KiCad files?

From the SdtElectronics/Biscuits repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCA9685_Breakout/PCA9685brk.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PCA9685brk design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SdtElectronics before reusing the design.
