Texas Instruments MCT8316AEVM Driver Evaluation Module (EVM)

Texas Instruments MCT8316AEVM Driver Evaluation Module (EVM) is designed to help engineers design, implement and validate reference hardware for the MCT8316A. The MCT8316A is three half-H-bridge integrated MOSFET drivers for sensorless trapezoidal control of a three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor for 4.5V to 35V, 8A peak current drive. The MCT8316A integrates a buck regulator that can support 200mA with a programmable regulated supply. The evaluation module includes an onboard MSP430 MCU (MSP430FR2355), which is used to interface with the MCT8316AEVM Graphical User Interface (GUI).

The Texas Instruments MCT8316AEVM includes an onboard FTDI chip to convert USB communication from the micro-USB connector into UART and an onboard MSP430FR2355 MCU to interface with the MCT8316A. It can also provide SPI communication for the SPI variant of the MCT8316A device. There are many user-selectable jumpers, resistors, connectors, and test points to evaluate many features of the device and configure device-specific settings.
