Texas Instruments DRV8214EVM Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments DRV8214EVM Evaluation Module is designed to evaluate the DRV8214 brushed DC motor driver with stall detection and ripple counting. This evaluation module is programmed and configured to work unusually and begin spinning motors immediately. The DRV8214 driver is an integrated motor driver with an N-channel H-bridge, charge pump, current sense output, current regulation, and protection circuitry. The DRV8214EVM module comes with a GUI to control the motor driver easily. This evaluation module is ideal for brushed DC motors, solenoid, and relay driving, portable printers, Point-of-Sale (POS) devices, battery powered DC motor applications.

Features

On-board 3.3V LDO for digital voltage supply
