2 Hardware Setup

The following items are required to use this tuning guide:

  • LP-MSPM0G3507 board
  • Supported DRV83xx motor driver evaluation module (EVM)
    • BOOSTXL-DRV8323RS
    • DRV8316REVM
  • Jumper wires for pin table connections
  • A computer with the MSPM0 FOC software installed
  • A BLDC motor to be tuned using this process. The motor data sheet is helpful but not mandatory.
  • A DC power supply rated for the motor
  • Basic lab equipment such as a digital multimeter (DMM), oscilloscope, current probe, and voltage probe

Figure 2-1 shows the block diagram connections for a sensorless FOC motor system. The system can be built using:

  • TI-provided hardware (LP-MSPM0G3507 and DRV83xx EVM)
  • Custom PCB hardware with an onboard MSPM0Gxxx MCU and a BLDC motor driver

The following sections describe how to configure the pins for each portion of the sensorless FOC block diagram.

The System Configuration tool (SysConfig) helps to configure the pins in a motor control system. The default pin configurations are provided for the EVM hardware setup to spin a motor, but pins can be remapped to other pins visually inside SysConfig. This is useful for reconfiguring different pins (such as PWM, ADC, or other control signals) on a custom PCB or for scaling to different packages across MSPM0 devices.
