DRV3205EVM: Need schematic and PCB files for eval board

Part Number: DRV3205EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8353, DRV8301, DRV832X, DRV8303

I'm looking at the DRV3205EVM as a possible solution for a motor testing need that we have.  It looks like the information I need is controlled by TI non -disclosure etc.

I'd like to get the documentation so I can make an intelligent decision as to the suitability of the produce for my needs. Please contact me with whatever information I need

to give you. My application is NOT safety related, this is not a consumer automotive use.

Thanks

  • Hi Harry,

    As you rightly noted, this part is intended for 12V functional safety automotive applications.

    We do have several industrial BLDC motor drivers in our portfolio that would have same/similar functionality and that are simpler to use. Please look at the BLDC portfolio AT

    http://www.ti.com/motor-drivers/brushless-dc-bldc-drivers/overview.html. Specifically DRV8301, DRV8303, DRV832x, DRV8353 would be comparable.

  • I'm still interested in this part, as I am indeed going to use it to drive EPS motors, so it seems like a perfect fit for my application.
    My point was that I'm not going to field the part in a vehicle, only in test. We can work out whatever details are required, NDA etc.
    I will look at the other drivers you suggested. Thanks for your reply
  • Thanks Harry. We will not need an NDA to share the datasheet for DRV3205. I will give you access to it.
    Let me know if any of the other drivers work. These will be much simpler for you to use.
  • Thanks Anuj

    I'd like to examine the schematic for the evaluation board. I saw the eval boards that were associated with the other drivers you mentioned. They look like the are more suited for higher voltages and'smaller currents used with Li-Ion battery powered components.  The eval board for the DRV3205 is a better fit as far as the actual motor drive components. 

    If the output drive stages of the DRV3205EVM look suitable for my application I may make a board that uses these output stages controlled from one of the other devices you suggested (that are easier to apply).

    Thanks
