2.2 Hardware Setup
The hardware required to run a motor is the MCT8314ZEVM, a micro-USB cable, and a power supply with a DC
output from 4.5 V to 35 V. Follow these steps to start up the MCT8314ZEVM:
1. Connect the DC power supply to header J7. Connect to VBAT and PGND to apply reverse polarity protection
and the Pi filter to the EVM. Otherwise, connect to VM and PGND to bypass the reverse polarity protection
and Pi filter.
2. If using the MCT8314ZH, populate the desired resistor settings in the "HW Variant Resistors" silk screen
box, see
Table
2-3. If using the MCT8314ZS populate the resistors R10-R13 in the "Pop. if SPI" silk screen
box.
3. Apply user-configurable jumper settings. See the
4. Flash the program into the MCU as described in
disconnect the 4-pin JTAG connections.
5. Connect a micro-USB cable to the MCT8314ZEVM and computer.
6. Turn on the power supply and power up the PCB.
If using the MCT8314ZEVM with an external microcontroller, remove all shunt jumpers from jumper bridge J6.
Connect with external jumpers to the left side of the jumper bridge from the external MCU.
2.3 Hardware Connections Overview
Figure 2-2
shows the major blocks of the MCT8314ZEVM. The MCT8314ZEVM is designed for an input supply
from 4.5 V to 35 V and offers reverse-polarity protection and a Pi filter. The MCT8314ZEVM can support all
variants of the MCT8314Z device with locations for Hardware resistors and SPI resistors. Through the use of
configurable shunts the MCT8314ZEVM can support many types of Hall sensor configurations. For interfacing
with the MCT8314Z GUI the MCT8314ZEVM has a FTDI chip to support USB-to-UART and a MSP430.
