Figure 2. System Block Diagram
The system consists of these components:
• Host (PC): a Windows™ personal computer (PC) – used to configure and monitor the DRV201AEVM.
The GUI operates on the host. For the GUI to execute properly, the host needs to have the correct
LabView™ RunTime version. If the host doesn’t have the correct RunTime version it will be prompted
during GUI installation. More information in GUI installation section.
• USB-to-I2C adapter: DRV201AEVM uses the I2C interface for communication with the host. The TIsupplied USB-to-I2C adapter shown in Figure 3. USB-to-GPIO adapter does the appropriate conversion
so the host can use the USB interface for communication. USB-to-I2C adapter has a 3.3-V supply rail
which is used to supply the EVM so no external power supply is needed.
• DRV201AEVM: EVM board that houses the DRV201A and peripheral components.

Hardware Overview
The DRV201AEVM allows evaluation of the DRV201A IC as a voice coil motor (VCM) driver for camera
autofocus. DRV201AEVM has separate connections for Isource and Isink pins that can be used to
connect to any VCM actuator or VCM in a camera module. If VCM actuator is not available there are on
board mounted inductor and resistor available to model VCM.
The DRV201AEVM can be configured and monitored through a Windows GUI application running on a
PC. The GUI communicates with the DRV201AEVM through the USB Interface Adapter (included with
EVM kit), which acts as an I2C master for the board.
The DRV201AEVM provides the following functionality:
• Programming of the DRV201A device.
• R_VCM and L_VCM are meant as a model of a typical VCM actuator electrical parameters.
• Driving either external VCM connected to ISOURCE and ISINK headers or using on board inductor and
resistor (see jumper setting).
• Standard 400-kHz I2C communication via I2C connector to USB adapter for connection to a PC.
• Board can be supplied through the 3.3 V from the USB adapter or from an external power source (see
jumper setting).
