2.2 Hardware Setup

The hardware required to run the motor is the MCF8329EVM, a micro-USB cable, and a power supply with a DC
output from 4.5-V to 60-V. Follow these steps to start up the MCF8329EVM:
1. Connect the DC power supply to header J10. Connect to PVDD and GND.
2. Apply user configurable jumper settings. See
3. Flash the firmware into the MCU as described in
JTAG connections.
4. Turn on the power supply to power up the MCF8329EVM.
5. Connect a Micro-USB cable to the MCF8329EVM and computer.
If using the MCF8329EVM with an external microcontroller, then remove all shunt jumpers from jumper bridge
J9. Connect with external jumpers to the right side of the jumper bridge from the external MCU.

2.3 Hardware Connections Overview

Figure 2-2 shows the major blocks of MCF8329EVM. The MCF8329EVM is designed for an input supply from
4.5 V to 60 V at 30 A max. The MCF8329EVM includes a power stage with six external N-channel power
MOSFETs (part number: CSD18536KTTT) and passive components. The MCF8329EVM also includes a 1 mΩ
current sense shunt resistor and an external N-channel MOSFET controlled by GCTRL to generate VREG. For
interfacing with the GUI, the MCF8329EVM has an onboard FTDI chip and MSP430.
