EVALSTGAP2S: isolated 4 A single gate driver demonstration board
Introduction
The EVALSTGAP2S board allows evaluating all the STGAP2S features while driving a half-bridge power stage with voltage
rating up to 1700 V in TO-220 or TO-247 package.
The board allows to easily select and modify the values of relevant external components in order to facilitate driver's
performance evaluation under different applicative conditions and fine pre-tuning of the final application's components.

UM2754 Logic supply voltage (VDD) Logic supply voltage (VDD) It is possible to provide the gate driver control logic supply VDD in three alternative ways to match driver input threshold with the controlling signals voltage swing: • Using the onboard 3.3 V Zener D2 regulator to supply VDD. The Zener is supplied from DC-DC input voltage VAUX. -
