EiceDRIVER 1EDI305xAS gate driver evaluation board ™ 3 Evaluation board Evaluation board PCB overview Figure 10 shows an overview of the EiceDRIVER gate driver 1EDI305xAS evaluation board. A vertical line on the ™ PCB marks the split between the primary side and the secondary side. The horizontal line marks the split between the high side and the low side.
EiceDRIVER 1EDI305xAS gate driver evaluation board ™ 3 Evaluation board Connectors There are connectors on the primary side and on the secondary side of the EiceDRIVER gate driver 1EDI305xAS ™ evaluation board. The board requires a supply voltage at the banana sockets on the primary side. See Table 2.
EiceDRIVER 1EDI305xAS gate driver evaluation board ™ 3 Evaluation board LED indicators LEDs on the EiceDRIVER gate driver 1EDI305xAS evaluation board indicate the status of the board and the ™ driver. See Figure Primary side supply indicator on VCC1 Secondary side supply indicator on VCC2/VEE2 for high side and low side drivers Dedicated RDY indicator for high side and low side drivers Dedicated NFLT_N indicator for high side and low side drivers If the VCC1 and VCC2/VEE2 power supplies are appropriate, the indicators are green.
EiceDRIVER 1EDI305xAS gate driver evaluation board ™ 3 Evaluation board 3.5.2 DESAT protection Place the jumpers X13_1 and X13_2 to enable the DESAT protection. See Figure Figure 16 DESAT protection jumper placement 3.5.3 Cross-connect SI1 and SI2 SI1 and SI2 are two safety inputs that define different safe states. For testing without secondary side components (power devices, HV input), the jumper placement is not necessary.
EiceDRIVER 1EDI305xAS gate driver evaluation board ™ 3 Evaluation board 3.5.5 AIP_1 signal selection The X14 and X20 selection jumpers are both capable of voltage and temperature measurement. They can be placed in two configurations by selecting the specific external circuit. See Figure Take the X20 jumper as an example.
