DRV8838EVM: 1.8A H-Bridge, 1.8 ~ 11V In

Summary

The DRV8838EVM is a complete solution for evaluating the DRV8838 low-voltage, brushed DC motor driver. It includes a MSP430 microcontroller that is pre-programmed to take input from an analog potentiometer for PWM speed control, and a direction jumper to change motor direction.

Power can be provided with the included micro-USB cable for 5 V or externally provided up to 11 V through the power header. To expand beyond the included firmware capability, the MSP430 is re-programmed via an external MSP430 USB Stick Development Tool available at www.ti.com/tool/ez430-f2013.

Unused pins on the micro-processor are brought out to plated through holes on the EVM.
