DRV8323R: DRV8323RHRGZR damaged 3 times

Part Number: DRV8323R
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-F280025C

Tool/software:

Hi,

I have custom board which's based on or 99% replicated of BOOSTXL-DRV8323RH, my codes based on Universal_Motorcontrol_Lab + External Throttle Device which's for control either IsSet_A or speedRef_Hz value, On boostxl-drv8323rh + launchxl-f280025c it's working fine but when I replicate it on custom board : 

1. Run with CCS, both 40v lipo battery and 30v power supply, change speedRef_Hz / IsSet_A under CCS expressions window and while flagEnableRunAndIdentify is remain TRUE - OK

2. Run Standalone, 30v power supply, without CCS, control speedRef_Hz / IsSet_A via external throttle device, flagEnableRunAndIdentify is remain ON and OFF depended  speedRef_Hz value - OK 

3. Run Standalone, 40v lipo battery, without CCS, control speedRef_Hz / IsSet_A via external throttle device, flagEnableRunAndIdentify is remain ON and OFF depended  speedRef_Hz value - DAMAGED 

VM and VDRAIN Pins damaged 

MOSFET damaged D and S shorted, this time PHASE A, last time PHASE C, which is random

Do you think it's caused by VM and VDRAIN pin separated ? If you need my PCB can I PM you ?

  • Hi Danny,

    VDRAIN and VM need to be connected to the same voltage from the same supply, so it's possible that this caused the damage. Please refer to section 8.3.1.4.5 of the datasheet for more information. This can cause damage to the external MOSFETs, which may be reflected in the damage you observed.

    Best,
