2.3 EVM Hardware Quick-Start

The 8161EVM requires a power supply source, which has a recommended operating range from a 4.5V to 48V. To setup and power the EVM, follow the sequence below.

  1. Connect motor phases to A, B, C to the respective MOT X connecter on the EVM (either screw terminal works).
  2. Do not turn on the power supply yet. Connect motor supply to PVDD and GND on connector J16.
  3. For sensored applications, connect the hall sensors to the appropriate locations on the 5-pin connector J17 as shown in Figure 3-9. Select on-board 3.3 (left position) or external (right position) on jumper J18 to choose the hall power source voltage.
  4. Adjust the gate current (IDRIVE1_X, IDRIVE2_X), deadtime (DTMODE_X), VDS Level (VDS_LVL), CSA gain (CSAGAIN_X) on the EVM using the jumper headers.
    Note: The CSA Gain is fixed in SW for 40V/V .
  5. Mate the DRV8161EVM onto the top half of the LAUNCHXL-F280049C (LaunchPad headers J1/J3 and J2/J4) as shown in Figure 3-2. The motor connectors face the same direction as the Micro-USB connector on the LaunchPad.
  6. Connect the micro-USB cable from the computer into the Micro-USB connector on the top of the LAUNCHXLF280049C.
