User Manual for HPD GD BOARD G1 SiC
Gate Driver Board
About this document
Scope and purpose
This application note describes the features of and how to operate the evaluation gate driver board
HPD GD BOARD G1 SiC for HybridPACK™ Drive CoolSiC™ modules.
Intended audience
Experienced engineers designing gate drive boards for HybridPACK™ Drive CoolSiC™ modules.
Evaluation Board
This board is to be used during the design-in process for evaluating and measuring characteristic curves, and
for checking datasheet specifications.
The evaluation gate driver board was designed to support customers during their first steps in designing
applications with the HybridPACK™ Drive power module and gate driver EiceDRIVER
TM
. An evaluation board is
not intended to be an optimal design for every specific requirement. But it gives a good starting point and
useful design hints for serial development. Furthermore, practical experience from the power module switching
characteristic as well as the gate driver features can be obtained in the lab at a minimum effort by using such
evaluation tools.
Note:
PCB and auxiliary circuits are NOT optimized for final customer design.
