SLVU335A – February 2010 – Revised July 2019
This document is provided as a supplement to the DRV8800/01 datasheet, and DRV8800/01 Design In
Guide. It details the hardware implementation of the CPG002 (DRV8800-01EVM) Customer Evaluation
Module (EVM).
1
1. Introduction to EVM
The CPG002 Customer EVM is a board containing all of the necessary components to evaluate the many
features found on the DRV8800 and DRV8801 devices. The EVM makes the evaluation process easier by
housing a microcontroller and an USB to Serial interface chip that allows for the user to control the
different DRV8800 and DRV8801 signals by means of a graphical user interface (GUI).
Figure 1. Block Diagram
1.1
Power Connectors
The CPG002 Customer EVM offers terminal blocks for the application of VM power and for motor power
outputs. VM power rail must be externally supplied. VDD for logic is internally supplied as it is derived
from the USB connection.
The user must apply VM according to datasheet recommended parameters. An USB Connection to a
computer is needed for proper control of the device.
1.2
LEDs
Three LEDs offer status information about power rails and microcontroller operating status.
1.3
Jumpers
This EVM has no jumpers that need to be configured by the user.

DRV8800-01 EVM GUI Overview
The DRV8800-01EVM Windows application is the software counterpart for the CPG002 EVM. It is in
charge of connecting to the EVM via an USB connection which in turn selects the proper logic state for the
DRV8800-01EVM control signals.
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been designed to allow for all of the DRV8800-01EVM device’s
functionality to be tested without having to intervene with the hardware. Figure 20 shows the DRV8800-01
EVM High-Level Page. It contains menu items to configure and enable/disable the serial port and frames
with GPIO control for the DRV8800-01EVM Control Signals as well as the ability to PWM the ENABLE
and the PHASE inputs.

Pages in the GUI
The GUI has one Page (High-Level Page). It contains frames with GPIO control for the DRV8800-01
control signals, motor control Frame, and PWM Frame.

3.1.1.1
DRV8800-01 GPIO Control Signals
Once the application is communicating with the interface board, the control signals can be actuated by
checking or unchecking check boxes on the Signals frame. Green in the Pin control translates to the High
level on the respective control signal and Red in the Pin control translates to the Low level on the
respective control signal.
Figure 21. Pin Information/Control Widget
Clicking on the ENABLE and PHASE Boolean set the PWM duty cycle to 0x00 (when Low) or 0xFF (when
High). Moving the slider bar configures the PWM duty cycle to a value in between.
