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.
