Infineon Technologies REF-1EDC20I12MHDPV2 Miller Clamp Function Board

Infineon Technologies REF-1EDC20I12MHDPV2 Miller Clamp Function Board is the first drive card of the universal evaluation platform featuring the compact 1EDC60H12AH EiceDRIVER™ gate driver IC. The 1EDC60H12AH offers an integrated active Miller clamp preventing parasitic turn-on. The second drive card includes the EiceDRIVER™ 1EDC Compact 1EDC60H12AH employing a bipolar supply, where VCC2 is +15V and GND2 is negative.

The EVAL_PS_DP_MAIN Universal Evaluation Platform is designed to demonstrate the EiceDRIVER™ gate driver ICs in the TO247 3-pin and 4-pin packages. The EVAL_PS_DP_MAIN board design is split into this motherboard and currently two drive cards with allowance for expansion in the future.

Features

  • VCC2 gate drive voltage supply from -5V to +20V
  • VCC1 supply fixed at +5V
  • Gate connection via SMA-BNC connector
  • Current measurement via optional coaxial shunt
  • Optimized commutation loop
  • External load inductor connection
  • Heatsink design allows testing at various temperatures

Applications

  • 1-phase string inverter solutions
  • Industrial heating and welding
  • Power Management (SMPS) – reference design
