TLE9879-BLDC-Shield

Arduino library for Infineon's BLDC Shield with TLE9879.

Summary

The BLDC shield is a small evaluation board equipped with the TLE9879 to use with Arduino. Up to 4 boards can be stacked ontop of each other to control 4 BLDC motors indepedently. Each shield can supply up to 10 A load current. The implemented integrated TLE9879 is a inteligent B6 MOSFET driver designed especially for automotive motion control applications such as wiper, engine cooling fan or Fuel pump.
