Introduction 

The  evaluation  gate  driver  board  EVAL-6ED100HPDRIVE-AS  is  an  isolated  six  channel  gate  driver  board 
dedicated for evaluation purpose of HybridPACK™ Drive products with 750V EDT2 IGBT chipset. It comes with 
the new Infineon automotive EICEDriver Sense/Boost gate driver ICs. The evaluation gate driver board supports 
the  customers  in  their  first  steps  designing  applications  with  the  HybridPACK™  Drive  or  the  EICEDriver 
Sense/Boost. 

Please read and understand the manual and the following safety warnings (see section 1.1). 

1.1

 

Safety Warning for Evaluation Kit 

The design operates with unprotected high voltages.

 Therefore, the Evaluation Kit may only be handled by 

persons with sufficient electrical engineering training and experience. The customer assumes all responsibility 
and  liability  for  its  correct  handling  and/or  use  of  the  Evaluation  Kit  and  undertakes  to  indemnify  and  hold 
Infineon Technologies harmless from any third party claim in connection with or arising out of the use and/or 
handling of the Evaluation Kit by the customer. 
The Evaluation Kit is a sample to be used by the customer solely for the purpose of evaluation and testing. It is 
not  a  commercialized  product  and  shall  not  be  used  for  series  production.  The  Evaluation  Kit  is  thus  not 
intended to meet any automotive qualifications. Due to the purpose of the system, it is not subjected to the 
same procedures regarding Returned Material Analysis (RMA), Process Change Notification (PCN) and Product 
Withdraw  (PWD)  as  regular  products.  See  Legal  Disclaimer  and  Warnings  for  further  restrictions  on  Infineon 
Technologies warranty and liability.  
European  legislation  in  relation  to  inter  alia  the  restriction  of  hazardous  substances  (RoHS),  waste  from 
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), electromagnetic compatibility, as well as duties to comply with CE, 
FCC or UL standards do not apply to the Evaluation Kit and the Evaluation Kit may not fulfill such requirements.
