6 Removing and Installing Supported Motor Drivers
The EVM can support the DRV8251/DRV8251A/DRV8231/DRV8231A devices. Below are step-by-step
instructions on how to remove and place different drivers on the EVM:
1. Disconnect power from the EVM.
2. Carefully de-solder the device from the PCB. Make sure to follow proper soldering and ESD protection
procedures to prevent damage to the EVM.
3. Carefully solder the new device to the EVM. Visit
desired driver.
4. The EVM uses a combination of resistors to identify the device that is populated on the board.
5. The firmware will function slightly different depending on the device that is on the board. After installing the
new device, make sure to populate the appropriate resistors.
The
Table 6-1
shows the changes that need to be implemented when switching from one device to the other.
Table 6-1. Procedure For Soldering New Device and Passives to EVM
New device being installed
8251 switching to 8251A
8251A switching to 8251
This hardware can be used to test and validate the 8231 series as it is pin to pin compatible with the DRV8251
series. The steps of switching between DRV8231 and DRV8231A are identical as those between the DRV8251
to 8251A and vice versa.Be mindful of warnings in voltage differences.
