24V 3-Phase BLDC Motor Control Demonstration: Blender Application Overview

This reference design demonstrates a blender application with multiple speeds and direction settings. This application uses a 3-Phase brushless DC motor which is used in the next generation household applications due to its power efficiency and longevity. Micrel offers solutions that address LDO, DC/DC buck regulator and MOSFET Drivers blocks shown below.

24V 3-Phase BLDC Motor Control Demonstration: Blender Application

The push button key board is the human interface to set pre-program settings. There are seven pre programmed settings which show the operation of the 3 Phase BLDC motor. Table 1. Program Functions Key Board
STOP SP1/3 SP2/3 SP_F FW_RV FW_ST Linear

Name
Stop 1/3 Speed 2/3 Speed Full Speed Forward & Reverse Forward & Stop Linear

Function
Stops motor rotation from any prior setting Runs the motor 1/3 speed, approximate 1000 RPM Runs the motor 2/3 speed, approximate 2000 RPM Runs the motor at maximum speed, approximate 3000 RPM Changes the rotation direction about every 2 seconds Runs the motor at 1/3 speed with stop interval Allows the user to set the speed from 10% to 100%
