DRV8350x-EVM Driver Evaluation Module (EVM)

Texas Instruments DRV8350x-EVM Driver Evaluation Module (EVM) is a 15A, 3-phase brushless DC drive stage based on the DRV8350H or DRV8350S gate driver and CSD19532Q5B NexFET™ power blocks. The evaluation module has an individual DC bus, phase voltage sense, and an external, individual low-side current shunt amplifier, making this evaluation module ideal for sensorless BLDC algorithms. The evaluation module supplies MCU 3.3V and 5V power blocks from a 12V, 0.35A step-down buck regulator. The driver can be configured in split rail and single rail power solutions. The drive stage has an IDRIVE configuration, a fault pin, and protection for short circuit, thermal, shoot-through, and under voltage conditions through configurable hardware (DRV8350H-EVM) or SPI (DRV8350S-EVM). The Texas Instruments DRV8350x-EVM has an entire USB to MCU environment to program and evaluate the evaluation module using available trapezoidal drive firmware and GUI.
