Abstract
The RDGD31603PSMKEVM three-phase inverter is a functional hardware
power inverter reference design which can be used as a foundation to
develop a complete ASIL-D compliant high voltage, high-power traction
motor inverter for electric vehicles. The kit can be used as a double pulse and
short circuit tester to measure key switching parameters, or as a three-phase
inverter for motor control.
