Texas Instruments Stellaris LM3S818 Control Card Module for 3-Phase Brushless DC Motors

Print Friendly


The MDL-LM3S818CNCD is a Texas Instruments' (TI) motor controlCARD module designed to operate with TI’s DRV83xx baseboards. It can be purchased with a DRV8312 baseboard as part of the DK-LM3S-DRV8312 development kit to spin 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors using Texas Instruments' (TI) InstaSPIN™-BLDC motor control solution included on this kit’s CD.

The Stellaris LM3S818 microcontroller (MCU) on the MDL-LM3S818CNCD controlCARD is pre-programmed with the necessary firmware in its flash memory to run a simple application for verification of operation and can also be reprogrammed by the customer to operate with other compatible baseboards to control other motors or end-customer applications.

The Stellaris LM3S818-based controlCARD module can be used in the following Texas Instruments' baseboards:
  • DRV8312 Rev C and Rev D
  • DRV8301HC (High Current 60A) Rev A and DRV8301 (6A) Kit

    • Stellaris® 50-MHz ARM® Cortex™-M3 LM3S818 microcontroller
    • Pluggable 100-pin DIMM form factor
    • Hardware-compatible with other TI DRV baseboards
    • Auto-isolation enabling upon debug connection
    • MDL-LM3S818CNCD controlCARD module
      • Stellaris 50-MHz ARM® Cortex™-M3 LM3S818-based microcontroller controlCARD DIMM form-factor module
