Confusion with L9907 component in SPC5Studio for UM2458 / STEVAL-CTM00x board

Jenistan

Hello,

I am working with the UM2458 (STEVAL-CTM009V1 / CTM004V1) motor control evaluation board in SPC5Studio.

In SPC5Studio project configuration, I see an L9907 Component RLA (driver + diagnostic). However, in the user manual and hardware schematic of UM2458, there is no L9907 IC present. Instead, the board uses the L6491D gate driver.

Because of this mismatch, when I run Motor Control Live Monitor:

  • I get Diag errors and register read failures from the L9907 tab.

  • No gate drive outputs appear, even though PWM and VCC are correct.

My questions:

  1. Does the UM2458 board actually use L9907 anywhere? (I think not, but SPC5Studio enables it by default.)

  2. How do I correctly configure SPC5Studio so that it matches the hardware (with L6491 gate driver)?

  3. Should I remove the L9907 RLA component from my project? If so, what’s the correct way to disable it?

  4. Is there any example project for UM2458 with L6491D that I should use instead of L9907?

Thanks in advance for clarifying — I want to be sure I’m not debugging a non-existent chip.
