This document is intended for the engineers involved in the design, implementation, and validation of DRV8334 + TMS320F280049C reference software. The scope of this document is to provide the user with a guide to evaluate the DRV8334 device with a TMS320F280049C board. This document covers the hardware connections required between boards and external motor/supplies.
Figure 1-2. 3-phase BLDC Driver Simplified Schematic 1.4 Device Information The DRV8334 enables customers to evaluate their motor performance within their gate driver system. The DRV8334 implements features such as enhanced Smart Gate Drive and expanded device protection features, making the device an excellent choice for applications such as power tools, appliances, pumps, and fans. The device supports both 12 V and 24 V applications while allowing up to 65 V PVDD abs max to support power supply transients.
