Z8FMC16100 Series Motor
Control Development Kit
Quick Start Guide
QS005406-0111
Introduction
This quick start guide describes how to set up Zilog’s Z8FMC16100 Series Motor Control
Development Kit and use it to evaluate your motor control designs and applications.
The Z8FMC16100 Series Motor Control Development Kit features a Motor Control Modular Development System (MC MDS) daughter board mounted on a 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board (see Figure 1). The MC MDS board consists of 32-LQFP
Z8FMC16100 chip and a DBG connector to connect the kit to a host development PC via
the USB Smart Cable. The 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board provides spade lug
connectors for the 3-phase motor and fused spade lug connectors for an adjustable 24 V
DC, 3 A workbench power source.
This document guides you through the following:
• Power supply requirements to power the 3-phase motor supplied with the kit
• How to run the kit’s preloaded sample code in standalone mode
• How to connect the kit to your development PC
• Running the sample code in Zilog Developer System II (
ZDS II
) Debug mode
Kit Contents
All hardware (except an external adjustable power supply) software and documentation
required to evaluate the Zilog motor control solution is included within the Z8FMC16100
Series Motor Control Development Kit. For details about kit contents, refer to the
Z8FMC16100 Series Motor Control Development Kit Packing List (PAK0006). The sam-
ple code used in this development kit is based on the Sensorless Brushless DC Motor Con-
trol with Z8 Encore! MC Microcontrollers Application Note (AN0226). The latest sample
code for this project (AN0226-SC01) can be downloaded at www.zilog.com.

External Power Supply Requirements
The 3-phase motor shipped with your development kit requires power from an adjustable
external power source. The external power source must provide 0 V DC to 24 V DC power
at 3 A. The adjustable power supply leads must be fitted with spade lugs that connects to
spade lugs (P4 and P5) on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board (see Figure 1).
Running in Standalone Mode
The Z8FMC16100 Series Motor Control Development Kit is shipped with the sample
code from the application note AN0226 preloaded into the Z8FMC16100 chip’s internal
Flash memory.
This section describes a series of steps for setting up the kit and running the sample code
in standalone mode.

Step 1. Connect the 3-Phase Motor to the Kit
The 24 V DC 3-phase motor included with the kit features three spade connectors that plug
into spade lugs P1, P2 and P3 on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board. Connect
the motor leads to the spade lugs on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board as
shown in Figure 2.

Step 3. Configure the 5 V DC Universal Power Supply
The universal power supply kit features different plug adapters in one box and the power
supply in another. The power supply ships with a slide-out plate that must be removed to
insert the location-specific plug adapter.
Observe the following steps to configure the 5 V DC universal power supply:
a. Remove the slide-out plate.
b. Select the AC plug adapter appropriate for your locale and insert it into the slot that
remains after removing the slide-out plate.
c. Slide the new plug adapter into the slot until it snaps into place.
For convenience, you can leave the adapter slot cover in place and plug in a standard
computer equipment AC power cord (purchased separately) between the AC cord receptacle on the end of the power supply and an electrical outlet.
Step 4. Connect the 5 V DC Universal Power Supply to the
MC MDS Board
Connect the 5 V DC power supply to the MC MDS board at connector P1, then plug the
supply into an electrical outlet. The green 3.3 V DC LED D4 illuminates when power is
applied and LED D3 blinks.
Step 5. Set the Adjustable Power Supply to 0 V DC and
Connect It to the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board
To avoid damage to the development kit, check the power supply connection polarities as you follow the instructions below.
Observe the following steps to adjust and connect the power supply to the application
board.
a. Set your adjustable power supply to 0 V DC.
b. Connect the negative (–) lead of your adjustable power supply to spade lug
connector P5 on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board.
c. Connect the positive (+) lead of your adjustable power supply to spade lug
connector P4 on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board.

Step 6. Apply Power to the Motor
The sample code causes Direction SWITCH S1 to change the direction of motor spin.
Run/Stop SWITCH S2 is set to turn the motor ON and OFF, and Speed Potentiometer R7
allows you to change the direction of motor spin and motor speed.
Observe the following steps to gradually apply power to the motor.
a. Slowly increase the adjustable power supply to 24 V DC. The 3-phase motor begins
to spin.
b. Experiment with the switches to see how simple it is to control the motor using the
Z8FMC16100 MCU installed on the kit’s MC MDS board.
Step 7. Power Down the Motor and Development Kit
After seeing how the sample code operates, turn the adjustable power supply to 0 V DC
and unplug the 5 V DC universal power supply from the MC MDS board.
Executing Sample Code in Debug Mode using ZDS II
Observe the following steps to execute the sample code in debug mode using

Troubleshooting Tips
If you experience trouble running the sample code with the Z8FMC16100 Series Motor
Control Development kit, determine if any of the following items can resolve the issue
before contacting Zilog Technical Support
• Verify that you are using ZDS II version 5.0.0 or later.
• Ensure that you are using the unmodified sample project code as described in Execut-
ing Sample Code in Debug Mode using ZDS II on page 6.
• Verify that you have properly connected the USB Opto-Isolator Smart Cable to the
host PC and the MC MDS board as described in Step 3. Install the USB Smart Cable

for assistance.
• After you have connected the 5 V DC power supply to the MC MDS board, the green
3.3 V DC LED D4 must be illuminated. If it is not illuminated, verify that power is
properly connected to the board as described in Step 4. Connect the 5 V DC Universal
Power Supply to the MC MDS Board on page 5.
