The MCF8329RRYEVM enables users to evaluate the performance of a 32-pin WQFN packaged MCF8329A-Q1 motor driver. The evaluation module (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 SPI formatted data, which is sent to the MCF8329A-Q1. There are many user-selectable jumpers, resistors, connectors and test points to assist with evaluating the many features of the MCF8329A-Q1 IC and the configurable device-specific settings.
