SNLU342 December 2023 MCT8315Z
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.
