LMG342XEVM-04X User Guide
The LMG342XEVM-04X features two LMG342XR0X0 600-V GaN FETs with an integrated driver and protection
in a half-bridge configuration with all the required bias circuit and logic/power level shifting. Essential power
stage and gate-driving, high-frequency current loops are fully enclosed on the board to minimize power loop
parasitic inductance for reducing voltage overshoots and improving performance. The LMG342XEVM-04X is
configured for a socket style external connection for easy interface with external power stages to run the
LMG342XR0X0 in various applications. Refer to the LMG342XR0X0 data sheet before using this EVM.

Page 5: Introduction
Introduction 2 Introduction The LMG342XEVM-04X operates as a half-bridge daughter card that can be either part of a larger custom designed system or paired with the mother board. TI provides two mother boards (LMG342X-BB-EVM and LMG34XX-BB-EVM) to interface with LMG342XEVM-04X. LMG342X-BB-EVM can support up to 4-kW, and LMG34XX-BB-EVM can provide up to 1.7-kW. -

EVM. 2.1.1 FAULT and OC The FAULT and OC pins of the LMG342XEVM-04X are active low when an undervoltage lockout occurs on an auxiliary voltage rail, when an overtemperature event occurs, or when an overcurrent/short-circuit event occurs on the LMG342XR0X0. -

LMG342XEVM-04X. 2.1.3 Bootstrap Mode The LMG342XEVM-04X card can be modified to operate in bootstrap mode, where the 12-V bias voltage is used to power both LMG342XR0X0 devices. This mode can be achieved by the following modifications to the EVM: 1. Remove R1. - Page 8 Introduction www.ti.com Figure 2-3.

There is an option to disable the PWM input to the daughter card in the event of a fault signal from the LMG342XEVM-04X. When the FAULT Protect jumper is placed in the EN mode, PWM is disabled when either LMG342XR0X0 has an active fault. This disable is not latching, so PWM immediately resumes when the fault clears. -

50 kHz to 200 kHz in hard-switching converters. Note TI provides a custom interposer board that must be used when the LMG342XEVM-04X is paried with the LMG34XX-BB-EVM. The interposer board is not needed with LMG342x-BB-EVM. Oscilloscope: Capable of at least 200 MHz operation. A 1 GHz or greater oscilloscope and probes with short ground springs are required for accurate measurements. -
