2.1 Quick Start

The DRV8376EVM requires a power supply source, which has a recommended operating range from a 4.5V to 65V. To set up and power the EVM, follow the sequence below.

  1. Make sure the DRV8376EVM has been configured according to the variant.
    1. Section 2.6
    2. Section 2.7
    3. Section 2.8
  2. Connect the phases of the motor to OUT A, OUT B, and OUT C of the screw terminals on the DRV8376EVM.
  3. Do not turn on the power supply yet. Connect the motor supply to VM and power supply ground to PGND. PGND and VM locations can be found in Figure 2-1.
  4. For sensored applications, connect the hall sensors to the appropriate locations on the 5-pin connector as shown in Figure 2-4. Make sure the hall power has been configured according to Figure 2-4.
  5. Mate the DRV8376EVM onto the top half of the LAUNCHXL-F280049C as seen in Figure 2-2. The motor and power connectors must face the opposite direction as the micro-USB connector on the LaunchPad™.
  6. Power on the DRV8376EVM.
  7. Connect a micro-USB cable from the computer into the micro-USB connector on the top of the LAUNCHXLF280049C.
