Power Supply Outputs
The 5-volt and 12-volt power supplies provide auxiliary power for low power circuits such as
electronic throttles, displays/gauges, and motor-position feedback devices. e corresponding ground
is the controller I/O ground circuit, GND (pins 7 & 18). Typically, the 5-volt supply is for the motor
feedback device (encoder or Sin/Cos sensor) as illustrated in the wiring diagrams, Figures 6 and 7.
For sensors and devices that can use 12 volts, the available supply current is the same. Use VCL to
monitor the output currents for detecting sensor or vehicle-harness wiring faults. Each supply has
parameter adjustable min/max current thresholds. By default, the 5-volt supply is on (1) and the
12-volt supply is o (0).
