UC2637: Looking at Design Files and Wondering...

Hello,

Although this is resolved, does the controller act as a safer, more advanced way of handling the motor driver? For instance, instead of a MOSFET as a switch would be another way to handle it.

P.S. I am new. I am sure you heard everything already. I saw the TIDA-00320 and I am thinking how to incorporate that into something useful. There is nothing really that I do in reality that calls for me to attend such studies. I have chosen to take on this task solely as a learner. It is a vast subject with tons of ins and outs, twists and turns, and etc. 

Seth,

It would really help if we just took a step back and you told me what you are trying to do.  How many motors you want to drive?  Type of motor?  At what current?  Then I could direct you better.  

Regards,

Ryan

Hello Sir,

Okay...I am trying to build a Cape of sorts for a beaglebone black but have less experience than most w/ SiPs and SoCs. So, I purchased this controller to build upon w/ it.

Also, I am breadboarding right now. Nothing is finalized. Just a 48v or less or 12v or more battery needs to be attached for powering the 12v or however many volt motors I use. I also will be trying to build it w/ the UC2637 to start. I guess I can use a L298 to start but I would like to build something w/ another motor driver(s). 

Seth

P.S. Okay. I just realized your questions: 

1. Four geared DC Motors - 12v

or...

2. Four Stepper Motors - 12v or 24v

or...

3. Three or four BLDC motors (I would perform more research on this subject but I understand these motors are a bit more complicated)

I do not need the amounts to be all in one package. Just to give some background experience, I am familiar w/ resistors, capacitors, and/or diodes. I am not completely sure what goes where as of now but I can learn. So, nothing specific. I am building to build only (learning experience). Sir, also me having a complete interest in the TIDA-00320 is real. If it is to not be made, I understand. It is a bit outdated and older.

Oh! Also sir, I was thinking of getting to know about the MSPxxxxxx line of MCUs to port this along w/ the Cape but this will be an excursion in time (not now). 

Hi, Seth,

Ryan will get back with you tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Best regards,

Don

Hi, Seth,

Ryan catch a cold today. To prevent further delay, please let me try to understand the issue. First, choose the motor type: Brushed DC motor; stepper motor or BLDC motor for your application.  And then, visit Motor Drivers | Overview | TI.com to select a correct driver. 

BTW, select a new driver could save your design time and get a better performance.

Hello,

Thank you for the update.
