1 Introduction

The DRV595 PWM power driver evaluation module is a complete power stage solution. It consists of the

TI DRV595DAP PWM power driver IC along with a few discrete passive components required for

operation. It also includes jumpers for configuring the features of the device, test points for fault

monitoring, and a full output filter that is easily modified. The jacks for the inputs, outputs, and power

supply provide easy connection to any system, from an existing design to a bread-boarded prototype.

1.1 Feature Highlights

The DRV595 evaluation module includes the following features:

• Wide supply voltage range: 4.5 V – 26 V

• High efficiency generates less heat

• Multiple switching frequencies

• Single power supply reduces component count

• Integrated self-protection circuits including over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature, and short

circuit.

• Jumpers for selecting device options

• Easy connections for inputs, outputs, and power supply

1.2 EVM Specifications
