DRV10970EVM: 1.5A, 3-Ph BLDC Hall, 5 ~ 18V in

The DRV10970 EVM is an evaluation platform for the DRV10970 three-phase brushless DC motor driver. The EVM includes a TLC555 timer configured to supply a PWM to the DRV10970 and potentiometer to adjust the speed of the motor by varying the duty cycle of the PWM.

This EVM has a wide power supply voltage range. Specific features of this EVM include adaptive driving angle adjustment, differential Hall-sensor inputs, braking mode, motor lock detection, and more. A number of protection features such as overcurrent, undervoltage, over-temperature, and locked rotor bolster system robustness. Most importantly, this EVM has Hall-sensor based commutation of the motor. The user has the ability to accept two modes of Hall input: differential or IC.

This document describes the kit details and explains the functions and locations of test points, jumpers, and connectors present on the kit. For detailed information about the DRV10970, refer to the DRV10970 data sheet (SLVSCU7).
