EVAL-DCLINK-DPT
Evaluation board description and getting started guide
About this document
Scope and purpose
This user guide is intended to introduce and provide an overview of the double pulse capacitor evaluation
board EVAL-DCLINK-DPT including the safety discharge functionality.
The EVAL-DCLINK-DPT board is designed with EiceDRIVER™ gate driver IC and CoolSiC™ 1200 V MOSFET in the
TO263-7 package, to provide "of-the-shelf" decoupling capacitance for double pulse testing and enable easy
evaluation of Infineon discrete power transistors and gate drivers. This board is designed to work with the
EasyEVB evaluation platform from Infineon.
This user guide presents only key features of the EVAL-DCLINK-DPT evaluation board.
Intended audience
This document is intended for all technical specialists who want to evaluate the functionality, performance,
and features of Infineon power semiconductors and gate drivers. The evaluation board is intended to be used
under laboratory conditions only by trained specialists.
Evaluation Board
This board is to be used during the design-in process for evaluating and measuring characteristic curves, and
for checking datasheet specifications.
Note:
PCB and auxiliary circuits are NOT optimized for final customer design.
Note:
While the board comes with a high voltage indicating LED, this function should only be used as an
indication and should not be relied on for assessing the presence of dangerous voltages on the
board. Proper high voltage safety measures shall still be followed when working
