4.4.1 DRV8311H Compatibility
The DRV8311HEVM default is the DRV8311H (Hardware variant), which can be used to spin a 3-phase
Brushless-DC motor with selectable modes configured with hardware settings as shown in
Note
DRV8311H Hardware settings are stuck at default settings (GAIN = 0.5V/A, SLEW = 200V/us, MODE
= 6x PWM) for MD045A. N FAULT must be pulled up externally before VM > UVLO to latch the correct
H/W settings. To fix, implement once of the following workarounds:
1. If using the DRV8311HEVM with an external MCU, remove R7 to disconnect buck supply. Apply
external 3.3V to the 3.3V test point. Power on the DRV8311HEVM.
2. If using the DRV8311HEVM with the LAUNCHXL-F280049C, remove R7 to disconnect buck
supply. Connect the LaunchPad to the DRV8311HEVM, and connect the micro-USB cable into the
LaunchPad to power the 3.3V supply to the DRV8311HEVM. Power on the DRV8311HEVM.
When using the DRV8311H, resistors R1, and R12 must be populated with 0-ohm resistors, and resistors R8,
R9, R10, R11, R13, and R41 must be left unpopulated. This allows the user to select settings using the MODE,
SLEW, and GAIN pins by using jumpers on J10, J11, and J12. An outline of the various hardware selectable
settings can be found below.
