Texas Instruments MCF8316DEVM Motor Driver Evaluation Module
Texas Instruments MCF8316DEVM Motor Driver Evaluation Module (EVM) enables users to evaluate the performance of the MCF8316D motor driver. The evaluation module includes an onboard FTDI chip to convert USB communication from the micro-USB connector into UART. An onboard MSP430FR2355 microcontroller (MCU) translates the UART communication into control signals or I2C formatted data, which is sent to the MCF8316. There are many user-selectable jumpers, resistors, connectors, and test points to assist with evaluating the many features of the Texas Instruments MCF8316 IC and the configurable device-specific settings.
Features
- GUI software to simplify the MCx tuning process and performance evaluation
- MCU-to-MCx shunt jumper header with removable shunts to disconnect main signals going to the motor driver IC from the MCU
- The shunts can be removed if the user desires to control the MCF8316 IC with an external MCU or to use the evaluation module MCU to control an external MCF8316 IC
Applications
- Brushless-DC (BLDC) motor modules
- Washer and dishwasher pumps
- Air purifiers and humidifier fans
- Residential and living fans
- CPAP machines
