3 Quick Start Guide
The DRV8316xEVM requires a power-supply source, which has a recommended operating range from 4.5 V to
35 V. To setup and power the EVM, use the following sequence:
1. Connect the power supply ground to PGND of the two-pin power connector J5 and the voltage pin to
the VBAT pin. Ensure R13 on the bottom layer is not populated and that jumpers J1-J3 of the LAUNCHXL-
F280049C are populated (USB powers LaunchPad).
2. Connect the motor phases to OUTA, OUTB, and OUTC. If using the Hall sensors, connect them to five-pin
connector J7 as
shows. Select 3.3 V or HALL_EXT_PWR on jumper J8 to select Hall power
source.
3. Mate the DRV8316xEVM onto the top half of the LAUNCHXL-F280049C (Launchpad Headers J1/J3 and
J2/J4) as
shows. The motor and power connectors should face the same direction as the
Micro-USB connector on the LaunchPad.
4. Power on the DRV8316xEVM.
5. Connect a Micro-USB cable from the computer into the Micro USB connector on the top of the LAUNCHXL-
F280049C.
