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 Mod-
ular Development System (MC MDS) daughter board mounted on a 3-Phase Motor Con-
trol 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 24V
DC, 3A 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 (
ZDSII ) 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.
System Requirements
Table 1 lists the system requirements for running ZDSII .

Always use a grounding strap to prevent damage resulting from electro-
static discharge (ESD).
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 0V DC to 24V DC power
at 3A. 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 3. Configure the 5V 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 5V 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 recepta-
cle on the end of the power supply and an electrical outlet.
Step 4. Connect the 5V DC Universal Power Supply to the
MC MDS Board
Connect the 5V DC power supply to the MC MDS board at connector P1, then plug the
supply into an electrical outlet. The green 3.3V DC LED D4 illuminates when power is
applied and LED D3 blinks.
Step 5. Set the Adjustable Power Supply to 0V DC and
Connect It to the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board
To avoid damage to the development kit, check the power supply con-
nection 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 0V 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.
Caution:

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 24V 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 0V DC
and unplug the 5V DC universal power supply from the MC MDS board.
Executing Sample Code in Debug Mode using ZDSII
Observe the following steps to execute the sample code in debug mode using ZDSII .
1. Stop the preloaded sample code and turn power to the 3-phase motor and MC MDS
board off.
2. Install ZDSII – Z8FMC16100 Series Motor Control Series Software.
3. Install the USB Smart Cable driver software and USB Smart Cable.
4. Connect the USB Smart Cable to the MC MDS board.
5. Download and run the sample code in Debug mode using
ZDSII .
Step 1. Stop the Preloaded Sample Code
If you have not already done so, apply the adjustable power supply to 0V DC and unplug
the 5V DC universal power supply from the MC MDS board.
Step 2. Install the ZDSII – Z8FMC16100 Series Motor Control
Series Software

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 for assistance.
• Verify that you are using ZDSII 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 ZDSII 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
Driver Software and USB Smart Cable on page 7. Ensure that pin 1 of the cable is
properly aligned with DBG connector pin 1 of the MC MDS board.
• After you have connected the 5V DC power supply to the MC MDS board, the green
3.3V 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 5V DC Universal
Power Supply to the MC MDS Board on page 5.
•In
ZDSII , navigate to Project ←Settings ←Debugger ←Communication and
verify that the serial number for the USB Opto-Isolator Smart Cable interface is pres-
ent and selected. If the serial number is missing, reinstall the USB Opto-Isolator Smart
Cable driver software.
• In ZDSII, verify that Z8FMC16100KITG - USB is selected as the target.
•In
ZDSII , click the Rebuild All button. Verify that the project rebuilds with no
errors.
• Verify that the development board is not currently running any code –the motor
should not be spinning.
• Try reloading the sample project as described in Executing Sample Code in Debug
Mode using ZDSII on page 6.
If you perform these steps and cannot get the sample code to run, contact Zilog Technical
Support at www.zilog.com.
