NXP Semiconductors FRDMGD3160DSBHB Half-Bridge Evaluation Board

NXP Semiconductors FRDMGD3160DSBHB Half-Bridge Evaluation Board is a half-bridge evaluation kit populated with two GD3160 single-channel gate drive devices. The kit includes the Freedom KL25Z microcontroller hardware for interfacing with a PC. It is installed with FlexGUI software for communication to the serial peripheral interface (SPI) registers on the GD3160 gate drive devices. The devices can be used in either daisy chains or standalone configurations.

Features

  • Capability to connect to VE-Trac™ Dual DSB IGBT module for half-bridge evaluations
  • Negative VEE gate low drive level (−7.5 V DC)
  • VCCREG regulated high gate drive level (+15 V DC)
  • Jumper configurable for disabling dead time fault protection when short-circuit testing
  • Easy access power, ground, and signal test points
  • Easy to install and use FlexGUI for interfacing via SPI through PC; software includes double pulse and short-circuits testing capability
  • DC link bus voltage monitor on low-side driver via AMUXIN and AOUT
  • Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) connection and configurable for monitoring module temperature

Applications

  • EV power inverter
