5 Hardware Setup

The hardware required to run the motor is the MCT8316ZTEVM, a micro-USB cable, and a power supply with a DC output from 8 V to 32 V. Follow these steps to start up the MCT8316ZTEVM:

  1. Connect the DC power supply to header J7. Connect to VBAT and PGND to apply reverse polarity protection and the Pi filter to the EVM. Otherwise, connect to VM and PGND to bypass the reverse polarity protection and Pi filter.
  2. Populate the desired resistor settings to the “H/W Variant Resistors” box, see Table 4-3.
  3. Apply user-configurable jumper settings. See the User-Configurable Settings section for more information.
  4. Flash the program into the MCU as described in Section 6. Launch the GUI in GUI Composer and disconnect the 4-pin JTAG connections.
  5. Connect a micro-USB cable to the MCT8316ZTEVM and computer.
  6. Turn on the power supply and power up the PCB.

If using the MCT8316ZTEVM with an external microcontroller, remove all shunt jumpers from jumper bridge J6. Connect with external jumpers to the left side of the jumper bridge from the external MCU.
