Quickstart Manual for EVAL KIT HPD G1 SiC
About this document
Scope and purpose
This application note describes how to operate the evaluation kit "EVAL KIT HPD G1 SiC".
Intended audience
Experienced engineers evaluating HybridPACK™ Drive CoolSiC™ power modules.
Evaluation Kit
This Evaluation Kit is to be used during the design-in process for evaluating and measuring characteristic
curves, and for checking datasheet specifications in designing inverter applications with the HybridPACK™
Drive CoolSiC™ power module and gate driver EiceDRIVER
.
TM
An evaluation kit is not intended to be an optimal design for every specific requirement. But it gives a good
starting point and useful design hints for serial development. Furthermore, practical experience from the
power module switching characteristic as well as the gate driver features can be obtained in the lab at a
minimum effort by using such evaluation tools.
Note:
PCB and auxiliary circuits are NOT optimized for a final customer design.
Application Note
Please read the Important Notice, the Safety precautions and the Warnings

Quickstart Manual for EVAL KIT HPD G1 SiC Feature and Limitations Overview Recommended Operating Conditions The following recommended operating conditions describe the targeted lab testing environment. The evaluation kit is not designed for a fixed specification and it cannot be regarded as a protected system, as it would require strict shutdown routines and would limit the main evaluation purpose. -
Page 8: Limitations Of The Evaluation Kit
Quickstart Manual for EVAL KIT HPD G1 SiC Feature and Limitations Overview Limitations of the Evaluation Kit The evaluation kit should not be regarded as a protected system. It was designed for evaluation under lab conditions with minimum automatic shutdown routines. The design was intended to be usable also under extreme conditions where protection mechanisms would limit the evaluation possibilities. -
