Clicker 4 Inverter Shield is an extension for Clicker 4
series boards from MIKROE.
It is the perfect way to expand the functionalities of
your Clicker 4 board to provide highly efficient control
and drive solutions for brushless DC (BLDC) motors.
The board features a 3-phase inverter using Toshiba’s
low RDS(ON) power MOSFETs, used in combination
with an integrated gate driver easily configurable
through the SPI interface. It also carries an
incremental encoder receiver, and a CAN transceiver,
rounding out the functionality of the board ideal for
various motor control applications.

1. Power Supply
Clicker 4 Inverter Shield is compatible with a wide range input
voltage from 12V to 48V DC. To power the board, connect the
power source to terminal block TB1 (1) making sure to follow
the polarity marked on board. A high-efficiency, synchronous
step-down DC-DC Converter MAX17504 (2) from Maxim
Integrated is on-board. This is an advanced integrated buck
converter, which provides a 5V/2A regulated power source.
The 5V output is also connected to pin 36 (EXT) of HDR2 side
header, and can be used to power the controller board.

2. MOSFET Power Stage
The 3-phase inverter design is based on the Toshiba’s
SSM6K819R,LF low RDS(ON) power MOSFETs (1), which
meet the increasing need for smaller, efficient MOSFETs,
providing the industry leading performance. They are part
of Toshiba’s smaller package portfolio which offers a wide
choice of package sizes ranging from 1 x 1 mm-class
ultra-small packages to 3 x 3 mm, which contributes to
miniaturization of sets by reducing the mounting area
and increasing power density.
By combining the latest wafer processes with low-
resistance packaging technologies, an industry-leading
low ON-resistance level MOSFET is achieved.
The LM61 device (2), a precision, integrated-circuit
temperature sensor is also in this section, providing a
easy to read linear output to acquire board temperature.

The DRV8323 (1) is an integrated gate driver for three-
phase motor drive applications. These devices integrate
three independent half-bridge gate drivers, charge
pump, and linear regulator for the supply voltages of the
high-side and low-side gate drivers, and significantly
decrease system component count, cost, and complexity.
A standard serial peripheral interface (SPI) provides a
simple method for configuring the various device settings
and reading fault diagnostic information through an MCU
on the Clicker 4 board.
3. Integrated Driver
INTEGRATED DRIVER
The DRV8323 integrates three bidirectional current sense
amplifiers for monitoring the current level through each of
the external half-bridges using a low-side shunt resistor. The
gain setting of the current sense amplifier can be adjusted
through the SPI or hardware interface. The SPI method
provides additional flexibility to adjust the output bias point.
Several on-board jumpers are available to enable either
single or three-phase current monitoring. To enable single
phase measurement connect jumpers J1, J2, and J3,
for three-phase measurement only jumper J4 should be
connected. Current monitoring signals are also connected
to side headers for external measurement, appropriate SMD
jumpers configuration is needed to switch between on-board
and external measurement.
Several indication LEDs are available on board, UH (LD4), VH
(LD5), WH (LD6) LEDs (Blue) are used to indicate the state of
High-side gate driver control inputs. FLT1 LED (Red) is a fault
indicator, this LED turns on during a fault condition.

4. Encoder
ENCODER
On board encoder ensures simple processing of the feedback
signals. The MAX14890E (1) incremental encoder receiver
from Maxim Integrated contains four differential receivers
and two single-ended receivers. On the Clicker 4 Inverter
Shield three differential inputs are exposed over terminal
blocks TB2, TB3 and TB4 (2). Additional terminal block TB5
(3) provides a 5V power source for externall components.
The differential receivers can be operated in RS-422 or
differential high-threshold logic (HTL) modes and are
optionally configurable for single-ended TTL/HTL operation.
All receiver input signals are fault protected to voltage shorts
in the ±40V range. The MAX14890E features a SPI interface
connected on the side header of the Inverter Shield, for easy
configuring and reading information through an MCU on the
Clicker 4 board. The MAX14890E detects common RS-422/
HTL/TTL/DI faults. These faults include low differential input
signals, open-wire, short-circuits, and inputs voltages that
are outside the normal operating voltage range. FLT2 LED
(Red) turn on when a fault condition occurs.

5. CAN
The CAN protocol is an ISO standard (ISO 11898) for serial
communication. It is widely used in industrial automation
as well as in automotive and mobile machine industry. The
MCP2561/2FD (1) is a high-speed CAN transceiver from
Microchip Technology. The device meets the automotive
requirements for CAN FD bit rates exceeding 2 Mbps, low
quiescent current, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
and electrostatic discharge (ESD). CAN network differential
signals CANL and CANH are exposed over terminal block TB6,
and TX/RX signals are connected to side header.
The jumper labeled as J8 (2) is used to enable the 120 Ohm
termination resistor.
