The BOOSTXL-DRV8301 is a motor drive BoosterPack featuring DRV8301 and NexFET MOSFETs. It is a 10A, three phase brushless DC drive stage based on the DRV8301 predriver and CSD18533Q5A NextFET power MOSFET. The DRV8301 is a gate driver IC for three phase motor drive applications. It provides three half bridge drivers, each capable of driving two N type MOSFETs, one for the high side and one for the low side. The NexFET power MOSFET has been designed to minimize losses in power conversion applications. The motor drive BoosterPack module has three low side current sense amps (two internal to DRV8301, one external). The module also has a 1.5A step down buck converter, is fully protected with short circuit, thermal, and shoot through protection and is easily configured via a SPI interface. This BoosterPack is ideal for those wishing to learn about sensorless brushless control techniques and drive stage design. This was designed to work with any LaunchPad XL.
