Renesas Electronics HIP2211EVAL2Z Evaluation Board

Renesas HIP2211EVAL2Z Evaluation Board provides a comprehensive and versatile platform for evaluation of the HIP2211 N-channel MOSFET half-bridge driver. The HIP2211EVAL2Z Board is designed for 60V half-bridge applications with 12V supply to bias the VDD of the HIP2211 IC.

The Renesas HIP2211EVAL2Z Evaluation Board includes the MOSFETs with a dual footprint for TO220 and DPAK. Additionally, the board features an inductor-capacitor output filter for evaluating an open-loop type synchronous buck DC/DC converter where the output voltage is controlled through the duty cycle of the signals into the HI/LI pins.

Features

  • 3A source and 4A sink NMOS gate drivers
  • Internal level shifter and bootstrap diode for gate driver on high-side NFET
  • Up to 100V high-side bootstrap reference
  • 6V to 18V bias supply operation
  • Fast 15ns typical propagation delay and 2ns typical propagation delay match supports up to 1MHz operation

Specifications

  • This board is optimized for the following operating conditions:
    • 12V nominal VDD supply
    • 0V to 60V VBRIDGE supply input
    • 100kHz PWM switching frequency
    • 3A Source and 4A sink peak gate drive current

Required Equipment

  • A power supply that can deliver 12V or higher with at least 2A source current capability
  • A power supply that can deliver 60V or higher to bias the half bridge
  • A pulse generator with 0V to 5V logic level output and 100kHz capability
    • Optional: A pulse generator with two synchronizable 0V to 5V logic level outputs and 100kHz capability
  • A minimum 4-channel oscilloscope to monitor LI, HI, LO, HO, and HS signals
    • Optional: A DC electronic load to draw current out of the LC filter output
