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.

1.4 Motor Outputs
There are two ways for connecting the motor load into the CPG002 Evaluation Module: A terminal block
and a two pin header. Each connection style offers identical connectivity to the H-Bridge output terminals.
1.5 System Requirements
· Supported OS – Windows 7 (32 Bit, 64 Bit). The window text size should be Smaller-100% (Default)
· Recommended RAM memory - 4 GB or higher
· Recommended CPU Operating Speed – 3.3 GHz or higher
2 GUI Software Installation
The following section explains the location and the procedure for installing the software properly.
2.1 GUI Software Installation
The following section explains the location of files and the procedure for installing the software correctly.
NOTE: Ensure that no USB connections are made to the EVM until the installation is completed.
The installer will also install LabVIEW RTE 2014 and FTDI Driver, along with the GUI.
