Introduction General Description The EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS evaluation board is a versatile evaluation platform. It features a half bridge configuration. There is the option to mount either the FF06MR12A04MA2 HybridPACK™ DSC or a discrete PG-TO247-3 power device, such as the AIMW120R045M1 CoolSiC™ MOSFET. There is also a place holder making the board compatible with PG-TO247-4 packages.
Z8F80327778 EiceDRIVER™ Gate driver overview There is a total of five different devices in this product family: 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS, 1EDI3025AS, 1EDI3026AS and 1EDI3028AS. Each family member implements a slightly different feature-set and is optimized to target different power switch technologies, whereas the power stage and safety concept is shared between all members.
Z8F80327778 Operating Modes The EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS and 1EDI3038AS offer different operating modes, see Figure 1. They provide diagnostic features and the ability to enter safe state in case of system failure. For more details, please refer to the datasheet.
EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS Evaluation Board Z8F80327778 3 Getting Started Getting Started It is recommended to use the evaluation board with the FF06MR12A04MA2 HybridPACK™ DSC or the AIMW120R045M1 CoolSiC™ MOSFET mounted. It can also be used in capacitive load emulation or with any other footprint compatible device [1206(3216)]. For load...
PCB Overview Figure 5 shows an overview of the EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS/1EDI3038AS evaluation board. A vertical line on the PCB marks the split between primary side and secondary side. The transformer TR1 provides the supply voltages for the secondary side of the gate drivers.
4 Evaluation Board Connectors There are connectors on the primary side and on the secondary side of the EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS evaluation board. The board requires a supply voltage of +15 V at the banana sockets on the primary side.
EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS Evaluation Board Z8F80327778 4 Evaluation Board LED Indicators LEDs on the EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS/1EDI3038AS evaluation board indicate board health and driver status, see Figure Dedicated NFLT_x and RDY_x indicator for each driver Primary side supply indicator on VCC Secondary side VCC2 indicator for each driver If the driver pulls the NFLT_x signal to “low”, then the NFLT_x LED is on to indicate a fault.
Operating conditions When using the 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS evaluation board the operating conditions of the board shall be valued. Note that the high voltage capability of the board is derived from the theoretical limit of the components on the board but not guaranteed or tested.
EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS Evaluation Board Z8F80327778 4 Evaluation Board Jumper configuration The EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS/1EDI3038AS evaluation board provides the following configuration options: Pullup or remote configuration of SI − Disable DESAT-/OCP-protection on high- or low-side − DC-link measurement with ADC- or SASC-event on low-side −...
EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS Evaluation Board Z8F80327778 4 Evaluation Board 4.5.1 SI1 and SI2 PULLUP For test-setups without HV-connections and without a second input voltage, set Jumper 1 and Jumper 2 in Position 2-3 to reset the driver by pressing the reset button. To change to PWM Enable state, press the reset button once after setting the jumpers.
EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS Evaluation Board Z8F80327778 4 Evaluation Board 4.5.3 SI1 and SI2 Remote Reset For high voltage testing it is not advised to use the button S1 to reset and transition the device from PWM Disable to PWM Enable mode.
EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS Evaluation Board Z8F80327778 4 Evaluation Board For a defined power-down of both gate drivers, ramp-down the voltage on the +15V jack below 13.5V and thus put them into PWM Disable mode. Figure 14 SI1, SI2 Remote 4.5.4...
EiceDRIVER™ gate driver 1EDI3035AS, 1EDI3038AS Evaluation Board Z8F80327778 4 Evaluation Board 4.5.5 and SASC There is the option to measure the DC-Link voltage via the ADC of the low-side driver or to test the Secondary Active Short Circuit (SASC) functionality.
