DRV8718-Q1: DRV8718S-Q1 EVM use problem

Part Number: DRV8718-Q1

When I use the DRV8718S-Q1 EVM and set the EVM in PWM control mode to drive a motor. When there is a reverse voltage at the output terminal, this voltage will be poured into the SH pin

How to solve this situation?

Why is this happening?

  • Hi,

    Thank you for your question. 

    Could you share waveform or drawings about your question?  I am not following what you meant "When there is a reverse voltage at the output terminal, this voltage will be poured into the SH pin".

  • When I use the DRV8718S-Q1 EVM to driving the motor , I set the EVM in PWM control mode to control the high-side MOSFET.PWM's frequency is 20Khz. The phenomenon  occurs when the motor is discharged, and the MOSFET is turned off at this time .

    when the motor is  discharged ,I found that the EVM board's SH pin of  will sink a voltage .

    Do you know the reason for oscillation phenomenon, and is there a solution?

  • Hi Luke,

    Thank you for your update.

    In order to understand your issue, could you share your issue waveform?

    What you mean "Discharge motor"? Did you stop motor on the GUI?

    I am guessing one of HBx is PWM driving with motor connection. How did you drive another side of motor?

    Thanks,

    regards
