Motor Drive DRV8301 BoosterPack

Motor Drive DRV8301 BoosterPack

The BOOSTXL-DRV8301 is 10A, 3-phase brushless DC drive stage based on the DRV8301 pre-driver and CSD18533Q5A NexFET™ power MOSFET. The module has 3x low side current sense amps (2 internal to DRV8301, 1 external). The module also has a 1.5A step down buck converter, is fully protected with short circuit, thermal, and shoot-through protection, and is easily configured via a SPI interface. This BoosterPack is ideal for those wishing to learn about sensorless brushless control techniques and drive stage design. This Booster Pack provides a complete 3-phase drive stage to evaluate motor applications.

The Motor Drive Booster Pack is not a standalone evaluation kit. It requires a compatible XL LaunchPad to provide the appropriate control signals. The Motor Drive Booster Pack and compatible XL LaunchPad also require a 3-phase motor and sufficient power supply. The BOOSTXL-DRV8301 brings out a combination of power, control, and feedback signals to the XL LaunchPad headers.
