EVALPSDPMAINTOBO1

Universal discrete power semiconductor 600V - 1200V in TO-247 3-/4-pin evaluation platform. Universal evaluation platform including EiceDRIVER™ gate driver IC was developed to show the driving options of the Discrete Power Semiconductors in TO247 3-pin and 4-pin. To show these options, the design was split into this motherboard and currently, two drive cards. The modular approach was chosen to allow the platform to be expanded with new drive cards in the future. The first drive card (REF-1EDC20I12MHDPV2 (coming soon)) contains the EiceDRIVER™ 1EDC Compact 1EDC20I12MH with an integrated active Miller clamp preventing parasitic turn-on. The second drive card (REF-1EDC60H12AHDPV2 (coming soon)) includes the EiceDRIVER™ 1EDC Compact 1EDC60H12AH allowing a bipolar supply, where VCC2 is +15V and GND2 is negative. The motherboard was designed for a maximum voltage of 800 V and a maximum pulsed current of 130A.

• VCC2 gate drive voltage supply from -5V to +20V
• VCC1 supply fixed at +5V
• Gate connection via SMA-BNC connector
• Current measurement via optional coaxialshunt
• Optimized commutation loop
• External load inductor connection
• Heatsink design allows testing at various temperatures
• Modular approach of the motherboard allows future extensions of the platform
