MCF8316D Evaluation Module

Description

The MCF8316DEVM enables users to evaluate the
performance of the MCF8316D motor driver. The
EVM includes an onboard FTDI chip to convert USB
communication, from the micro-USB connector, into
UART. An onboard MSP430FR2355 microcontroller
(MCU) translates the UART communication into either
control signals or I2C formatted data, which is sent
to the MCF8316. There are many user-selectable
jumpers, resistors, connectors, and test points to
assist with evaluating the many features of the
MCF8316 IC and the configurable device-specific
settings.
