The DRV8000-Q1 evaluation module (EVM) allows for easy evaluation of the DRV8000-Q1 device. The EVM has been programmed and configured to work out of the box and begin driving loads right away. The EVMs showcase an integrated driver with a H-bridge gate driver, six integrated half-bridges, six integrated high-side drivers, one external high-side gate driver for heater, one external high-side gate driver for electrochromic charge and one integrated low-side driver for electrochromic load discharge. The device features protection features such as under and over voltage monitors, offline open load and short circuit diagnostics, and zone-based thermal monitoring and shutdown protection. The device also has a muxable sense output (IPROPI) and integrate current regulation (ITRIP). The EVM is accompanied by a GUI application for easy control of the motor driver.
