BOOSTXL-DRV8301: LAUNCHPADXL-F28379D Compatibility

Part Number: BOOSTXL-DRV8301
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8301, , LAUNCHXL-F28379D

Hello everyone.

I tried to check if BoosterPack DRV8301 is compatible with Launchpad F28379D. I was sure, that it is. But BoosterChecker told me, they are not. The problem was in BoosterPavk Pin #29 and Launchpad Pin #69, as shown on the picture. BoosterPack sends Phase C current feedback, and the launchdap pin is "CMPIN". But ASAF, Compare function is muxed with ADC. So the Pin #69 of the launchpad can be used as ADC input. The launchpad schema is a little strange with names: ADCINA4 pin of the MCU is named as "Analog Out". The picture is shown.

What should I do? I still think, that there's some mistake or name mismatch. I don't believe, that this launchpad for motorcontrol purposes is not comatible with motorcontrol boosterpack.

  • Hi Disona,

    The C2000 experts have been contacted to comment on the difference between the two launchpads.

    The BOOSTXL-DRV8301 was intended to be used with the www.ti.com/.../LAUNCHXL-F28027F
  • Hi there Disona,

    The CMPIN1P pin is ADCINA2. please refer to the board schematic and device datasheet. This Boosterpack is compatible, though I am not sure if there is example software for this specific combination. That being said, the differences will be minor between the F2802x and F28379D.

    I will file a ticket to get the BoosterPack Checker updated.

    Regards,
    Mark
  • Thank you, Mark

    I've figured out these devices are compatible, I've already spinned a motor. But unfortunately, ADCREFHI is set to 3V at LAUNCHXL-F28379D, and the BoosterPack has it's scale up to 3.3V, so there are some problems. I have Launchpad of Rev 1.1, but i can see, that Rev 2 has also reference at the level of 3V =(
