5V adapter board V3
The 5V adapter board is equipped with digital and analog voltage level shifters to enable interfacing with 5V MCUs. In addtion the 5V adapter contains hardware to support DC / BLDC motor simulation on controllers with integrated bridge drivers such as the TLE9x family or MC9S12ZVM family.

BLDC MOSFET bridge and shunt current simulation
The board is able to simulate MOSFET bridge phase signals. The following error injections are possible:
-
short circuit on any of the high side MOSFETs when motor operates
-
short circuit on any of the low side MOSFETs when motor operates
-
short circuit on any of the high side MOSFETs when motor not active
-
short circuit on any of the low side MOSFETs when motor not active
-
motor open load condition (wire break)
-
motor overcurrent condition
For the motor shunt current simulation you need the miniHIL BLDC simulation.
The bridge signals are summarized in the below table:
| Signal name | miniHIL target connector | comment |

GH3_SHORT_EN |
PF9 |

CL_SH1 |
PG13 |
LOW during motor operation → simulates low side MOSFET shortcircuit to GND |
CL_SH2 |
PG12 |
LOW during motor operation → simulates low side MOSFET shortcircuit to GND |
CL_SH3 |
PG11 |
LOW during motor operation → simulates low side MOSFET shortcircuit to GND |
CH_SH1 |
PF0 |
HIGH during motor operation → simulates high side MOSFET shortcircuit to supply voltage, HIGH during motor inactivity → simulates low side MOSFET shortcircuit to GND |
CH_SH2 |
PF1 |
HIGH during motor operation → simulates high side MOSFET shortcircuit to supply voltage, HIGH during motor inactivity → simulates low side MOSFET shortcircuit to GND |
CH_SH3 |
PF2 |

 |
To prevent damage to the board, use the GH1_SHORT_EN, GH2_SHORT_EN and GH3_SHORT_EN signals together with CL_SH1, CL_SH2 and CL_SH3 set to LOW. |
 |
To supply the adapter with 24V directly form the miniHIL board, SB50 on the miniHIL board must be closed (open by default). In addition the 5V supply jumper next to the CN11 must be closed using a jumper or jumper wire. |
