5 Hardware Setup
The hardware required to run the motor control is the LAUNCHXL-F280049C LaunchPad development kit, the
DRV8311HEVM, a Micro-USB cable, and a power supply with a DC output from 3-V to 20-V. Follow these steps
to set up the evaluation module:
1) Ensure all resistors or jumpers are set up accordingly according to the device variant used. The
DRV8311HEVM by default is populated with and configured for the DRV8311H (hardware variant). If using
the DRV8311S or DRV8311P, please follow row J of
Table 4-2 to configure the board for the DRV8311x device
variant populated for U1.
2) Mate the DRV8311HEVM board to the top half of the LAUNCHXL-F280049C LaunchPad development kit
(mates to J1/J3 and J2/J4 of LaunchPad, as in
Figure 4-3 ).
NOTE : Observe the correct orientation when placing DRV8311HEVM to the LAUNCHXL-F280049C. The motor and power connectors
should face to the LaunchPad’s Micro-USB connector.
3) Connect the three phases from the brushless-DC motor to the 3-pin connector J9 on DRV8311HEVM. Phases
OUTA, OUTB, and OUTC are labeled in white silkscreen on the PCB top layer.
NOTE : If using a sensored algorithm on the LaunchPad development kit, connect Hall sensors to the 5-pin connector J4.
4) Connect the DC power supply to header J5.
NOTE : Observe the correct polarity VM and GND connections on the DRV8311HEVM connector J3.
5) Connect a Micro-USB cable to the LaunchPad development kit and computer.
6) Turn on the power supply and power up the PCB.
If using the DRV8311HEVM with an external microcontroller, make the connections needed on the male headers
on the top of the board or female connectors on the bottom side of the board.
