DRV8702-Q1-EVM
This user's guide is provided with the DRV8702-Q1 customer evaluation module (EVM) as a supplement
to the DRV8702-Q1 data sheet. This document details the hardware implementation of the EVM and how
to use DRV8702-Q1-EVM GUI application.

Board Overview
Figure 1. Board Components
The DRV8702-Q1-EVM serves as an evaluation kit to demonstrate TI’s DRV8702-Q1 H-bridge gate driver
in a 3.5-in × 2.2-in compact form factor. An MSP430G553 device is used to control the speed and
direction of the motor, while also monitoring the motor current from the DRV8702-Q1 device. The power
stage is created using the DRV8702-Q1 H-bridge gate driver and the CSD18540Q5B N-channel
NexFET™ power MOSFETs. The EVM is a high-performance, power-efficient, and cost-effective platform
that speeds development for a quicker time to market.
