To start straight, download the project files from the following links. Note that the physical designators in the BOM
file will differ from the logical designators shown in this guide.
Ingenia recommends to only select RoHS compliant components for designing
products which life cycle can easily adhere to WEEE directive.
7.2.1. Input Supplies
DC Power Supply
Although typically not part of an interface board, but wired outside, this could be one of the main and first elements
to take care of, as the way it is dimensioned could affect the rest of the design. Everest CORE generates 3-phase
currents by means of an inverter topology power stage, so it require a DC power supply to feed its internal DC bus.
Selecting the proper voltage, current and power of this supply is typically not as simple as checking the
specifications of the target motor. In fact, in most cases the nominal values of the motor will be substantially
different from the analogous values of the power supply. To learn more about this, check out the following
documents:

Wiring information
The contents of this application guide are limited to the circuits contained in an hypothetical Interface
board to hold the Everest CORE. However, how this Interface board should be wired to the actual motor,
supplies and sensors in the end user application environment might be an information of interest. In this
regard, it is suggested to take a look at the
, where the general purpose interface board proposal from Ingenia is in use. The
section is particularly recommendable.
