With all the features it has, it is a perfect solution for building a reliable low-cost motor driver applications, such as the low noise computer cooling fans, efficient air ventilation systems, and similar applications that could benefit of having reliable and reasonably simple motor driver circuit. The power transistors are integrated into the driver IC, it requires no tuning, and no sensor is used, making the circuit very simple and cost-effective.
The Click board™ itself has a low count of external components, considering all the features it has to offer. The Click board™ features a standard set of protection features: overvoltage protection, overtemperature protection, overcurrent limiting, but also some more specific protection features, such as the rotor lock-up protection and automatic restart function.

This topic shows how to drive a BLDC motor using Arduino where the speed is controlled with a potentiometer. This controller is called an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller). Two options allow for simple parameterization by assuming a perfect trapezoid for the back emf. BLDC Motor control using Arduino Speed control with potentiometer The brushless dc motor is a three-phase dc motor which requires a controller to power its 3 phases.
The block has four options for defining the permanent magnet flux distribution as a function of rotor angle. Brushless 4 click allows a wide voltage range to be used for the power supply: from 2V, up to 14V. Description The BLDC block models a permanent magnet synchronous machine with a three-phase wye-wound stator. This type of drivers inherently provides higher torque in general, compared to classical 120° BLDC motor drivers.
