4.4 DRV8329AEVM Configurability Switch Functions

The DRV8329AEVM includes a variety of user-selectable jumpers and unpopulated components on the PCB to 
choose user settings and evaluate the DRV8329A, DRV8329B, DRV8329C, or DRV8329D device. A summary 
of those selectable settings is listed in 

Table 4-2

 (defaults in bold) and can be seen on the board in 

Figure 4-6

.
