MCT8316ZTEVM Evaluation Module

ABSTRACT

This document is provided with the MCT8316ZT customer evaluation module (EVM) as a supplement to the 
MCT8316Zx data sheet (

MCT8316Z Three-Phase Sensored-Trapezoidal BLDC Motor Driver Data Sheet

). This 

User's Guide details the hardware implementation of the EVM and how to setup and power the board.

Note

The MCT8316ZTEVM comes automatically populated with and configured for the MCT8316Z0T. It is 
also compatible for the MCT8316Z0R variant (see 

MCT8316Z0R Compatibility

), but the user will need 

to replace the MCT8316Z0T with the MCT8316Z0R for compatibility.
