Automotive three-phase motor gate driver EVM allows simple evaluation

The Texas Instruments' DRV8305-Q1EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a 4.4V to 45V, 25A, three-phase motor drive and control system based on the DRV8305-Q1 automotive motor gate driver, TMS320F28027 motor control microcontroller, and CSD18540Q5B NexFET power MOSFET. The EVM allows for simple evaluation of the device with a wide array of test points, interfaces, and configurability. The EVM has onboard reverse battery protection, a regulated 3.3V supply from the LDO, interface header for all control and feedback signals , and onboard XDS100v2 emulator. The EVM has individual DC bus and phase voltage sense as well as individual low-side current shunt sense for sensorless BLDC control algorithms. The drive stage is fully protected with short circuit, thermal, shoot-through, and undervoltage protection and is easily configurable via an SPI interface. The EVM is ideal for evaluation and rapidly developing with the device, with primary software support through MotorWare using the InstaSPIN-FOC sensorless control solution.
