Notes for ECE 482:

1. The schmatics, PCB, and libraries are provided as starter files.  You may edit them as you see fit.
2. Not all elements will have the correct footprints.  In particular, consider the footprint for resistors and capacitors.  You should aim to use through-hole components where possible, but elements such as power loop decoupling capacitors and current sense resistors should be chosen to optimize performance
3. Keep track of a Bill of Materials (BOM) of all components which you do not currently possess.  These will be ordered together.  Reuse components from the lab kit where possible.
4. Three examples of motor drives are given.  MotorDriver1 uses a three-phase bootstrap gate driver and a MOSFET power stage using discrete FETs.  This will require six PWM inputs (i.e. may constrain your choice of microcontrollers; more than one is acceptable).  MotorDriver2 and MotorDriver3 use hall decoder chips for commutation and an integrated power module.
5. Depending on the devices you choose, you will need to select and implement an appropriate heatsink.
6. Example isolated supplies are shown on the ConnectionsAndProtection schematic.  Make sure to include in your BOM which part numbers you will use.  Outputs are available at  3.3, 5, 9, 12, and 15V.  Alternate power supplies may be used if needed.
7. Use supplier search (view>workspace panels>system>supplier search) to make sure you have a complete BOM for the project.  Some, though not all, of the parts in the starter file have parts linked.
