Description for the DRV8842EVM
The DRV8842 evaluation module consists of a 5.0A, single H-bridge motor driver and a small number of external components that can drive a single brushed DC motor or two solenoids. The on-board MSP430 MCU plus software & GUI provide the necessary signaling and control. With the DRV8842EVM, designers can quickly and easily evaluate the performance of DRV8842 motor driver in their specific application.
Please note that the DRV8842 can support both stepper and brushed motors, but this EVM only supports Brushed DC motors.
