BOOSTXL-DRV8301: Motor Current Rating Issue

Part Number: BOOSTXL-DRV8301
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8301, DRV8301-69M-KIT

I am trying to run a Brushless DC motor rated for 34A using the DRV8301 and the gate current and gate voltage faults occur. Could this be a problem with the motor current rating? because the DRV8301 is only rated for 10A continuous output current with a 14A peak rating?

  • Hello Robert,
    Yes, the board is rated for 14A peak current. If you would like to run at that current you can either design your own board with the drv8301 or leverage the DRV8301-69M-KIT which is rated at 60V, 40A continuous current. Thank you.
