1.1 Introduction

This document is provided with the MCF8315PWPEVM evaluation module (EVM) as a supplement to the MCF8315 data sheet (MCF8315A Three-Phase Sensorless-FOC BLDC Motor Driver). This user's guide details the hardware setup instructions, GUI installation, and usage instructions. The MCF8315PWPEVM allows users to evaluate the performance of an MCF8315 motor driver in the 24-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package. This EVM can be configured using the accompanying Motor Studio GUI, which makes it easy to tune and optimize the device register settings for a specific motor.

The MCF8315PWPEVM 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 MCF8315. There are user-selectable jumpers, resistors, connectors, and test points available to configure and evaluate many features of the device.

WARNING:

Voltages exceeding the standard EVM ratings as specified on the data sheet can cause personal injury, electrical shock hazard, damage to the EVM, or a combination.

Additionally, do not leave power connections to the EVM connected while not in operation.

CAUTION:
MCF8315PWPEVM Hot surfaceCaution Hot Surface! Contact may cause burns. Do not touch. Please take the proper precautions when operating.
