Description

The DRV8161EVM is a 30A, 3-phase brushless DC drive stage using three DRV8161 gate drivers for spinning BLDC motors.

The EVM allows quick evaluation of the DRV8161 device which spins a BLDC motor with trapezoidal commutation and control.

Status LEDs for all power supplies as well as FAULT LEDs for the drivers are included for user feedback. The C2000™ LaunchPad™ (LAUNCHXL-F280049C) is required for this kit and is required for this kit and is used to control the DRV8161 drivers as well as to monitor and report faults.
