3 Getting Started
3.1 Requirements
The BOOSTXL-DRV8305EVM is not a standalone motor control kit and requires a compatible XL
LaunchPad to provide the appropriate motor control signals. The BOOSTXL-DRV8305EVM has been
specifically designed for the LAUNCHXL-F28027F InstaSPIN-FOC LaunchPad. In addition to the
BoosterPack and a compatible XL LaunchPad, a 3-phase motor and sufficient power supply are required.
3.2 Configuring the LaunchPad
The BOOSTXL-DRV8305EVM BoosterPack supplies 3.3 V to the LaunchPad through the onboard
LMR16006 0.6-A, step-down buck regulator. It is recommended to remove the jumpers on the LaunchPad
that connect the emulation and controller power supplies. The LaunchPad communication lines should
also be configured to ensure proper operation from the host PC.
Example: LAUNCHXL-F28027F
For the LAUNCHXL-F28027F LaunchPad, remove the JP1 (3.3 V), JP2 (GND), and JP3 (5 V) jumpers to
isolate the two power supply domains (MCU and Emulator).
The S1 switch should be set to the ON-ON-ON position to allow for a JTAG debug connection. The S4
switch should be moved to the OFF position to allow for the nFAULT pin from the DRV8305 to report
correctly.

3.3 Connecting the Hardware
Use the following steps to connect the hardware:
1. Plug the BOOSTXL-DRV8305EVM BoosterPack onto the LaunchPad as shown in Figure 5. The
terminal block headers should be oriented towards the USB connector and the 20-pin headers (J1 and
J2) should align properly.
2. Connect the 3-phase motor to the terminal block header J4. The motor connections have been labeled
with A, B, and C but can be connected in any order.
3. Connect the power supply, that will power the BoosterPack’s DRV8305 3-phase gate driver, 3-phase
power stage, and LMR16006 buck regulator to the terminal block header J3. The connections have
been labeled PVDD and GND. For full performance, ensure the supply can support as much current as
your motor may demand. The BoosterPack has a designed operating range from 4.4- to 45-V with up
to 15-A RMS (20-A peak) of phase output current.
WARNING
At high currents the drive stage can increase to high temperatures.
Use proper handling procedures.
4. Enable the power supply. A fault may appear on the nFAULT LED. This is normal and should be
cleared when the status registers are read or EN_GATE is taken HIGH.
5. Enable the control algorithm and begin spinning the motor. The BOOSTXL-DRV8305EVM
BoosterPack combined with a compatible XL LaunchPad will provide a complete motor drive and
control evaluation platform. With the Piccolo LAUNCHXL-F28027F LaunchPad you can take full
advantage of TI’s InstaSPIN™-FOC sensorless control solution. To get started with InstaSPIN-FOC
(http://www.ti.com/instaspin-foc) download and run the MotorWare™ software
(http://www.ti.com/tool/motorware), reviewing the LAUNCHXL and BOOSTXL resources.
4 Demo Application
The BOOSTXL-DRV8305EVM BoosterPack has been optimized to work together with the Piccolo
LAUNCHXL-F28027F LaunchPad to provide a complete motor drive and control evaluation platform. To
quickly get your 3-phase motor spinning, see TI’s InstaSPIN-FOC sensorless control solution at
http://www.ti.com/tool/motorware. Multiple projects, labs, and an easy to use GUI are available with TI

5 Detailed Hardware Description
The BOOSTXL-DRV8305EVM BoosterPack is a complete drive stage for 3-phase motor applications. The
design consists of the DRV8305 motor gate driver, CSD18540Q5B N-Channel NexFET Power MOSFETs,
and LMR16006 buck regulator. See the respective data sheets for the DRV8305 (SLVSCX2),
CSD18540Q5B (SLPS488), and LMR16006 (SNVSA24) for more information concerning each device.
5.1 DC Bus and Phase Voltage Sense
The BoosterPack has been designed with voltage sense circuits on the DC bus (PVDD) and each half-
bridge outputs (phases A, B, and C). These circuits, shown Figure 9, consist of a voltage divider with a
filtering capacitor to reduce high frequency noise on the ADC pins. These circuits have been scaled to
support 4.4 to 45 V. The high-side resistors for the phase outputs are located near the motor output
header (J4) while the low-side resistors and filtering capacitors are located near the ADC pins on the
BoosterPack to LaunchPad header (J1) for improved noise reduction purposes.
Figure 9. Voltage Sense
To achieve higher resolution voltage feedback, the scaling can be adjusted by replacing the high-side
resistors with a lower value.
Example: For a 12-V system, R8, R9, R10, and R14 could be replaced with 22-kΩresistors to
approximately triple the voltage resolution. The new full scale voltage would be 17.85 V.
5.2 Low-Side Current Shunt Sense
The BoosterPack has low-side current shunt sense for each half-bridge (phases A, B, and C). The current
sense setup takes advantage of the DRV8305’s triple shunt current amplifiers (phases A, B, and c). The
configuration for the low-side sense is shown in Figure 9. The differential amplifier senses voltage across
a 0.007-Ωpower sense resistor with differential connections. The differential voltage is then amplified by
10 V/V and centered at 1.65 V to allow for sensing both positive and negative currents. The sense resistor
has been scaled for 0- to 20-A peak currents.

5.3 BoosterPack GPIO Signals
The Motor Drive BoosterPack brings out the GPIO signals for the DRV8301 to the LaunchPad XL. These
signals are described in detail in the following list and further information can be found in the DRV8301
data sheet.
1. nFAULT: Fault indicator, specific FAULT status can be obtained through the status registers
2. PWRGD: Watchdog and LDO regulator status indicator
3. EN_GATE: Enables gate driver and current shunt amplifiers
4. WAKE: Used to bring the device out of its low power sleep mode.
5.4 DRV8305 Status and Control Registers
The DRV8305 provides extensive fault reporting and device configuration through an SPI interface and
internal registers. There are two categories of registers: status and control. Status registers provide
information about device faults and warnings. This information can include items ranging from IC
overtemperature to MOSFET overcurrent events. The control registers allow various device parameters to
be modified to suit system requirements. These parameters include but are not limited to gate drive
current, dead times, current shunt amplifier configurations, and fault reporting modes. For specific
information concerning the DRV8305 registers, refer to the data sheet (SLVSCX2).
The InstaSPIN GUI allows easy access to read and modify the DRV8305’s internal registers. These can
be accessed on the DRV8305 tab of the InstaSPIN Universal GUI.
