Description

The MCT8315ZEVM allows users to evaluate the performance of the MCT8315Z motor driver. The EVM includes an onboard FTDI chip to convert USB communication from the micro-USB connector into UART. An onboard MSP430FR2355 MCU translates the UART communication and onboard potentiometers into control signals and a variable duty cycle for the PWM input of the MCT8315Z. The MCU can also provide SPI communication for the SPI variant of the MCT8315Z device. There are many user-selectable jumpers, resistors, connectors, and test points to assist with evaluating the many features of the MCT8315Z device and the configurable device-specific settings.
