General Description
The MDC150-120151 driver is designed to drive DC brushless motors at currents of up to 15A (peak) and
170V. Using hall sensor feedback, a constant velocity mode can be selected. The driver is protected
against over current (cycle-by-cycle or latched), hall sensor error and under voltage. When an error oc-
curs, a fault light and output is turned on to notify the user. Included on the driver is an internal potentiom-
eter to control the maximum phase current...

Specifications
Pin Descriptions
The inputs on the MDC150-120151 are optically isolated with the anode (+) and cathode (-) both brought
out to the user.  With no current going through the Direction, Freewheel, and Run/Stop opto-diodes, the
input is considered high. To enable the motor to Run, current must go through the Run/Stop input opto-
diode. To Freewheel (remove energy from the motor) the motor, current must go through the Freewheel
input opto-diode.To enable the input a minimum...

Speed Output
The PG OUT  terminal (TB1 - pin 1 and 2)  is used to determine the speed of the motor shaft. An opto-
decoupled open collector output is shown at a rate of  4 pulses for 1 revolution of an 8-pole motor, 3 pulses
for 1 revolution of a 6-pole motor, and 2 pulses for 1 revolution of a 4-pole motor. Care must be taken not to
pass more than 50mA through this transistor.

Open Loop/ Closed Loop (Constant Velocity Mode)
The driver can either be set for Open Loop or Closed Loop operation. Open Loop operation is used for
applications where the speed of the motor needs to change according to the load. Closed Loop operation
is used for applications where speed regulation is needed. Under closed loop operation, the speed is
regulated...

Motor Connection
Refer to the hookup diagram for typical driver applications. When connecting a motor for the first time,
connect the hall sensor wires (5 of them) to the driver. DO NOT CONNECT THE PHASES YET AND DO
NOT HOOKUP ANYTHING...
