DRV8353RS-EVM: Testing point (GHx GLx)

Part Number: DRV8353RS-EVM

Hi

I am using the DRV8353RS with an STM32F407VGTX in 1xPWM synchronous mode. The MCU drives INHA (PWM), INLA, INHB, INLB, INHC and INLC, and I am trying to verify the gate‑drive outputs on the DRV8353RS‑EVM using an LA1010 logic analyzer.

For debugging I command only the ALIGN state every 10 ms from the STM32 (no stepping yet). According to Table 3 in the datasheet, for INHC = 0 my logic inputs during ALIGN are:

  • INHA: 20 kHz PWM (about 50% duty)

  • INLA = 1

  • INHB = 1

  • INLB = 1

  • INHC = 0

  • INLC = 1 (no brake)

I probe the following EVM test points with the logic analyzer:

  • GHA, GLA, GHB, GLB, GHC, GLC

  • INHA, INLA, INHB, INLB, INHC, INLC

 

However, the gate‑drive outputs I measure on GHA/GLA/GHB/GLB/GHC/GLC do not match the expected pattern from Table 3 for the ALIGN state.
