Original question:

DRV8301: arduino LaunchPad

BOOSTXL-DRV8320H: arduino LaunchPad

JUAN PABLO Angulo

Part Number: BOOSTXL-DRV8320H

Hello, as recommended by  I purchased the BOOSTXL-DRV8320H to drive it with an Arduino.

In the DataSheet I see a pin called MODE. How is this pin used? what values are to be sent to set the mode? Is there a datasheet that refers to the exclusive operation of the BOOSTXL-DRV8320H without using its connection to the MSP430 as the only way of explaining its functionality?

What is recommended to interface to the BOOSTXL-DRV8320H with an Arduino? its SPI the best way? Is there an example to follow? Otherwise should I connect directly to the drivers? is there an Application Note or other info that can be provided?

Thanks!

Pablo

    Hi Pablo,

    The MODE pin operation is described in Figure 32 and section 8.3.1.1 of the datasheet.

    No, there is no datasheet that refers to the exclusive operation of the BOOSTXL-DRV8320H without using its connection to the MSP430 as the only way of explaining its functionality.

    The Arduino can be connected directly to the BOOSTXL-DRV8320H header using jumper wires. The recommended connection is GPIO control. This connection works although it is not ideal.

    There are not app notes or examples to follow. The BOOSTXL-DRV8320H was documented for one application.
