DRV8353RS evaluation module, three-phase brushless DC smart gate driver

The DRV8353RS-EVM is a 15A, 3-phase brushless DC drive stage based on the DRV8353RS gate driver and CSD19532Q5B NexFET™ MOSFETs.

The module has individual DC bus and phase voltage sense as well as individual low-side current shunt amplifiers, making this evaluation module ideal for sensorless BLDC algorithms.  The module supplies MCU 3.3V power with an integrated 0.35A step down buck regulator.  The drive stage has IDRIVE configuration, along with a fault pin and protection for short circuit, thermal, shoot-through, and under voltage conditions through configurable SPI.

Features

• 9- to 95-V operation
• 15 A continuous / 20 A peak H-bridge output current
• Internal buck regulator
• Three individual, internal low-side current shunt amplifiers
• INSTASPIN FOC firmware available
