This stage uses the PC USB power lines as power supply.

Furthermore, the possibility to supply all the board using the PC USB port was added, realizing a step-up converter to

obtain the inverter V

BUS

necessary for the motor; obviously, if this feature is used, the system is no more insulated

from the PC.

If external power supply is used for the inverter, the logic power supply is obtained through a step-down converter,
in order to reduce heating and power consumption.

Please refer to the electrical drawings or schematics to get the hardware implementation in more details.
