Texas Instruments DRV8316 EVM Series, User Manual

Page: 4 / 28

2 Introduction
The DRV8316 is an 4.5-V to 40-V, 8-A peak integrated three-phase gate driver IC for motor drive applications.
It provides three accurately trimmed and temperature compensated half-bridges capable of directly driving a
three-phase brushless-DC motor. Both the SPI variant (DRV8316R) and hardware interface variant (DRV8316T)
integrates an adjustable buck regulator, flexible parameter settings such slew rate control, and protection
features, and both are compatible with the DRV8316xEVM. See
Table 2-1 .

DRV8316T Buck regulator and Hardware
Along with the hardware of the DRV8316xEVM, the TMS320F280049C microcontroller on the LAUNCHXL-
F280049C LaunchPad
TM
has reference software that provides the algorithm to the DRV8316 to control the
BLDC motor.
This document serves as a startup guide to supplement the DRV83 LAUNCHXL-F280049C BLDC
motor control demonstration kit. It also is intended for engineers to design, implement, and validate reference
hardware and software for the LaunchPad
™ MCU and DRV8316R. For step-by-step details on connecting the
LAUNCHXL-F2 DRV8316xEVM, installing software, and running the project to spin a motor, refer to
Section 5 Hardware Setup .
