Quickstart Manual for EVAL KIT HPD G1 SiC 

 
 

About this document 

Scope and purpose 
This application note describes how to operate the evaluation kit “

EVAL KIT HPD G1 SiC

”. 

 

Intended audience 
Experienced engineers evaluating HybridPACK™ Drive CoolSiC™ power modules. 
 

Evaluation Kit 

This Evaluation Kit is to be used during the design-in process for evaluating and measuring characteristic 
curves, and for checking datasheet specifications in designing inverter applications with the HybridPACK™ 
Drive CoolSiC™ power module and gate driver EiceDRIVER

TM

An evaluation kit 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 a final customer design.
