1 Introduction

1.1 Overview
The DRV8323Rx is a gate driver IC for three phase motor drive applications. It provides three high-
accuracy trimmed and temperature compensated half bridge drivers, each capable of driving a high-side
and low-side N-type MOSFET.
Both SPI and hardware interface variants provide detailed fault reporting and flexible parameter settings
such as current control options for slew rate control of the gate drivers and various protection features.
Along with the hardware of DRV8323Rx, the MSP430F5529 microcontroller has loaded reference software
that provides the necessary gating pulses to DRV8323Rx to control the BLDC motors.

2.3 LED Lights and Switch Functions

Two LEDs and two push button switches are available on the MSP430F5529 LaunchPad development kit
to notify the user of different motor statuses and to control the operation of the motor. These switches are
configured in the reference software and preloaded with the following functions:

Figure 7. Switches and LED Functions

P1.1 switch (motor direction reversal) — This switch allows user to toggle the direction of motor spin
either to be clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.
P2.1 switch (fault clear switch) — This switch is configured to clear the fault status in SPI registers and
to restart the motor. When the user does not want automatic fault recovery when a fault occurs, it
can be turned off in the parameter setup file. In such cases, this button helps in restarting motor
after successful identification and mitigation of fault.
