The DRV8301-LS31-KIT is a motor control evaluation kit for spinning three phase brushless DC and brushless AC (BLAC) - often referred to as permanent magnet synchronous (PMSM) – motors with examples of both sensorless Field Oriented / Vector Control (FOC) and TI’s InstaSPIN-BLDC sensorless BLDC solution. The DRV8301-LS31-KIT is a high-performance, power-efficient, cost-effective platform that speeds development for quicker time to market. Applications include Electric Power Steering, Power Doors/Roofs, EV/HEV/Train Propulsion, Dual Clutch Transmissions, Electronic Throttle Control, Fuel/Coolant/Oil pumps, A/C Compressor, and Wipers.
