Introduction
The DRV10970 EVM is an evaluation platform for the DRV10970 three-phase brushless DC motor driver.
The EVM includes a TLC555 timer configured to supply a PWM to the DRV10970 and potentiometer to
adjust the speed of the motor by varying the duty cycle of the PWM.
This EVM has a wide power supply voltage range. Specific features of this EVM include adaptive driving
angle adjustment, differential Hall-sensor inputs, braking mode, motor lock detection, and more. A number
of protection features such as overcurrent, undervoltage, overtemperature, and locked rotor bolster system
robustness. Most importantly, this EVM has Hall-sensor based commutation of the motor. The user has
the ability to accept two modes of Hall input: differential or IC.
This document describes the kit details and explains the functions and locations of test points, jumpers,
and connectors present on the kit. For detailed information about the DRV10970, refer to the DRV10970
data sheet (SLVSCU7).

Jumpers
Descriptions for the jumpers are provided in the following list:
• BRKMOD is the brake mode setting. It is pulled high to VINT through R4. R7 (not populated) allows
BRKMOD to be pulled to GND. When the motor is not driven, either in lock condition or when PWM
equals zero, the state of the BRKMOD pin sets the spin down of the motor. The BRKMOD pin can be
low (coasting during spin down) or high (braking during spin down). Because R7 is not populated, by
default is it braking.
• CMTMOD is the commutation mode setting. This signal is connected to jumper J3. When pulled high,
there is sinusoidal operation mode with 30° Hall placement. When low, there is sinusoidal operation
mode with 0° Hall placement. When the jumper is floating, there is trapezoidal mode with 30° Hall
placement.

•
DAA is the drive angle adjustment configuration pin. This signal is connected to jumper J4. When
driven high, 5° drive angle adjustment takes place; whereas when driven low, 10° drive angle
adjustment takes place. When floating, there is adaptive drive angle adjustment. The adaptive driving
angle adjustment (ADAA) achieves the most optimized efficiency regardless of the motor load
condition for motors with 0 (symbol of degree) Hall placement.

FR is the motor direction control pin. It is pulled high to VINT through R3, which provides a motor
operation direction of U-V-W. Each phase leads the previous phase by 120°.
FG and RD are open-drain outputs that are externally pulled high to VINT. The FG pin indicates the
speed of the motor; it toggles high and low every electrical cycle. The RD pin indicates the lock
condition; it is pulled low when the motor is locked
Headers J5, J7, and J8 allow moving from Hall-differential mode to Hall-IC mode. By default, the
DRV10970 EVM operates in Hall-differential mode (jumpers are not populated). Refer to section 9 of

LEDs, Switch, Retry
LED1 (Green) turns ON when VM is supplied to the board. LED2 (Red) turns ON when the motor is
locked.
The S1 switch allows the applied power supply voltage to reach the rest of the board. A fuse is used to
protect the device from overcurrent. Turn the Switch to the “On” position to power the EVM.
C7 is the capacitor for retry timing and isadjustable in the event of a motor lock. Changing C7 alters retry
timing. The capacitor value used in the EVM is 0.1 µF, which corresponds to a retry time of 1.5 seconds.

Hall ICs
Populate R17, R18, and R19 with a user-selected pull-up resistor for the Hall-sensor IC with open-drain
output.
R22 (currently 0 Ω) is a current-limiting resistor for Hall-element sensors and is configurable to the
application.

Capacitors for Differential Hall Signals
There are options for populating capacitors across differential Hall signals to filter out noise on the Hallelement output. Noise on the Hall signal degrades the performance of the device. Noise can be minimized
by using noise-filtering capacitors (C11, C10, and C9) across the x_HP and x_HN pins as shown in the
following image. The value of the capacitor can be chosen such that RC time constant is in the range of
0.1–2 µs. For example, to achieve a time constant of 1-µs for application with a Hall sensor with an
internal impedance between the Hall output to ground of 1 kΩ; capacitor with a value of 1 µF can be
populated.
5.5
PWM Configuration With the TLC555 Timer
The PWM signal is generated by circuitry based on TI’s TLC555 low-power timer. PWM is generated
based on input from the potentiometer. In order to provide an external PWM signal to the motor driver,
remove the 0-Ω resistor (R15) and connect the external PWM signal to the PWM test point. By default,
R15 is populated on the board. The PWM signal generated by the circuitry on the EVM is approximately
25 kHz and is adjustable from 5% to 95% duty cycle using the potentiometer (R1).
Figure 2. Potentiometer on DRV10970 EVM
The potentiometer adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal, which in turn adjusts the speed of the motor.
A lower duty cycle gives a lower speed and a higher duty cycle provides a higher speed. Turning the
potentiometer clockwise lowers the speed, and turning it counterclockwise increases the speed.
The DRV10970 enters sleep mode when PWM equals zero for Tsleep. In sleep mode, VINT shuts down.
PWM can be pulled to 0% by removing R15 (0-Ω resistor) and shorting PWM to ground using the test
point.

Powering-Up the EVM
The DRV10970 EVM requires a VM power supply source, which has a recommended operating range
from 5 to 18 V. Use the following sequence to power-up the EVM:
1. Connect the power supply Ground to pin 1 (GND) and a voltage between 5 to 18 V to pin 2 of
connector P1 (VM). Set the current limit on the power supply to 1.5 A and make sure switch S1 is in
the OFF position
2. Jumper position for DAA and CMTMODE: The default jumper position for DAA is position 2–3 (10°
mode) and CMTMODE is position 1–2 (sine-30° mode). Based on the relation between Hall signals
and BEMF, the setting for jumpers must be configured
Sine 30 mode: In this mode, when the motor is spinning in a clockwise direction, zero crossing for Hall
signals is trailing BEMF zero crossing by 30°. If Hall-element output is as shown in Figure 3, then the
default setting for jumpers is recommended. If trapezoidal mode is desired, then set the CMTMODE
jumper to floating.

Changes in EVM for Inverted Hall Signals
Inverted 30° Sine mode: In this mode, when motor is spinning in clockwise direction, zero crossing for
hall signals is inverted and lagging 30° with respect to BEMF zero crossing. If output of hall IC is as shown
in Figure 9, then default jumper settings is recommended. If 30° trapezoidal mode is desired, then
CMTMODE jumper setting should be floating and DAA setting can be 2-3 (10° mode).

Since Hall signals are inverted, configure the DRV10970 as shown in Figure 10. Inputs from the Hall IC is
connected to internal comparator, so Hall input and reference VINT/2 signals connection to DRV10970
needs to be switched. So now output of Hall IC needs to be connected to x_HN and reference needs to
be connected to x_HP (x represents phases U, V and W).
