TMS320F280039C: Compatibility and demos for LAUNCHXL-F280039C and DRV8353RH-EVM

Part Number: TMS320F280039C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-F280039C, DRV8353RH-EVM, , DRV8353R, C2000WARE, DRV8353, BOOSTXL-DRV8323RH, DRV8323

Hey C2000 team,

I have a customer evaluating and planning to use the TMS320F280039C and DRV8353RH for a new motor control project design and we were hoping to get some guidance from your team on how to use the associated EVMs (LAUNCHXL-F280039C & DRV8353RH-EVM) to get a demo up and running:

  • Are there any demos or code examples with instructions on how to get a motor control solution up and running with these dev kits?
  • Are there any HW modifications needed on the Booster-Pack to use the code examples since it is based on DRV8353R and not DRV8353S?

Any guidance you can provide and resources you can point us to would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Matt Calvo

    Hi Matt,

    They can use the Universal Motor Control Lab available in the MCSDK for this hardware. See the User's Guide and MCSDK directory below:

    Hey Kevin,

    Thanks for the heads up on using the Universal Motor Control Lab! I have read through the User's Guide and according to Table 2-1 and everywhere else in the document, there only seems to be support for DRV8353RS-EVM which uses the DRV8353R with SPI interface. Even when looking through the .c and .h files of the F28003x universal lab project I only see references to DRV8353RS. My customer is hoping to evaluate DRV8353R with HW interface (DRV8353RH-EVM). Does your SW or Apps team have any plans to update this lab to also include out-of-box support for DRV8353RH-EVM?

    In the meantime, do they have any guidance or workarounds for getting the demo up and running with the DRV8353RHx?

    If not, then are there any other demos or examples they can point us to which does include out-of-box support for LAUNCHXL-F280039C & DRV8353RH-EVM?

    Best regards,

    Matt Calvo

    Hi Matt,

    The H (Hardware) variant of the DRV8353R is similar to the S (SPI) variant. It's just the most common device configuration will be done with external fixed resistors instead of over SPI, some configuration will be missing on H version. Other than that the motor control software will be largely the same.

    They can take the Universal Motor Control Lab software and adapt is for H version by removing the SPI configuration and ensuring the hardware config matches the SW (i.e. like current sensing gains).

    Best,

    Thanks for the feedback Kevin!

    I highly recommend for the new revision of the UMCL UG to also include step-by-step guidance on the HW and SW modifications needed for the H version so that it is clear to customers what needs to be done to get the lab up and running with the HW version.

    In theory it would look similar to Section 2.2.4 BOOSTXL-DRV8323RH Setup in the current UMCL UG but would be geared towards DRV8353 instead of DRV8323.

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the feedback, we can consider adding the instructions. It is difficult for us to keep up to date with supporting all the DRV boards with all C2000 devices however.

    Best,
