The DRV8412 Digital Motor Control (DMC) kit (DRV8412-C2-KIT), provides a great way to learn and experiment
with digital control of Brushed DC and Stepper motors.
The DRV8412 Digital Motor Control Kit contains:
• F28035 controlCARD
• DRV8412 DMC board with slot for the controlCARD
• 2 brushed DC motors, 8-wire bi-polar stepper motor
• 24V 2.5A DC Power Adapter
• USB Cable, USB Stick with Quick Start GUI, Guide, and links to install controlSUITE (which includes all
documentation and source code) and CCStudio Integrated Development Environment
WARNING
This EVM should be used only by qualified engineers and technicians who are familiar with
the risks associated with handling electrical and mechanical components, systems and
subsystems. The EVM operates at voltages and currents that can result in electrical shock,
fire hazard and/or personal injury if not properly handled or applied. Users must use the
equipment with necessary caution and employ appropriate safeguards to avoid serious
injury. Users must not touch any part of the EVM while energized.
Features of the DRV8412 Motor Control Board:
o Dual H-Bridge Power Stage capable of stepper motor control, dual brushed DC motor control
or control of a single larger DC motor with a parallel H-bridge configuration. 52.5V DC max input
voltage and 6A* maximum current in the configuration shipped.
o Aux Power Supply Module 12V control voltage can be supplied externally or from DC bus.
o Isolated SCI & JTAG
o Quadrature Encoder Interface
o Two PWM DAC’s to observe the system variables on an oscilloscope.
o Hardware Developer’s Package which includes schematics & bill of materials.
o Open source software available through controlSUITE
