Texas Instruments DRV8329AEVM Gate Driver Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments DRV8329AEVM Gate Driver Evaluation Module (EVM) is a 30A, 3-phase brushless DC drive stage based on the DRV8329A gate driver for BLDC motors. The DRV8329 incorporates three diodes for bootstrap operation without needing external diodes. The device includes a current shunt amplifier for low-side current measurement, 80mA LDO, dead time control pin, VDS overcurrent level pin, and gate driver shutoff pin. The evaluation module includes switches, potentiometers, and resistors to evaluate these settings and configurability for the A variant (6x PWM) and B variant (3x PWM) of the DRV8329 device.

Up to 60V can be supplied to the evaluation module and the integrated LDO in the DRV8329 generates the gate voltage needed for the bootstrap GVDD supply. Status LEDs for all power supplies and a Fault LED are included for user feedback. The C2000 launchpad (LAUNCHXL-F280049C) is required for this kit. It controls the Texas Instruments DRV8329AEVM with a sensored trapezoidal algorithm and monitors and reports faults.
