6EDL_SPI_LINK adapter

6EDL_SPI_LINK is a configuration interface or "dongle" for use with the 6EDL71x1 family of smart gate driver
ICs. It is connected to the USB (1.0 to 2.0) interface of a PC with a standard Micro-B USB to male A cable (1 meter
or 3 ft) supplied with the kit. It is connected via the 2x4 pin, 0.1"/2.54 mm spaced vertical header to a ribbon
cable also supplied in the kit, which is connected to the target board containing the 6EDL71x1 device.
6EDL_SPI_LINK enables read and write operations to the registers that contain the configuration parameters of
the 6EDL71x1, which include; the PWM switching pattern, gate drive configuration, onboard power supplies,
and protection functions. This adapter works with a PC-based application called the MOTIX™ BPA Motor
Control Workbench, which is a Windows-based graphical user interface (GUI) tool available to download from
Infineon's website.
The configuration can be loaded into RAM during product development and optimization or into permanent
memory using the one-time programmable (OTP) mode.
