Example Measurements
2.2.3
DESAT
The EVM comes populated with a 220-pF DESAT capacitance. Pin1 on JMP3 can be used to apply a
signal directly to the DESAT pin.
For evaluation with the default 1-nF load, when actual IGBT is not connected as load, the desaturation
function should be disabled by connecting the DESAT pin to GND2 by shunting pin 1 to pin 2 on JMP3.
2.2.4
CLAMP
By default, the CLAMP pin is connected to the output via a 0-
Ω
resistor (R6). The CLAMP feature can be
disabled by removing R6. CLAMP can be monitored via TP14, and a signal can be applied directly to the
CLAMP pin via JMP4.

Figure 4. ISO5851 EVM Input and Output With Unipolar Output Supply
shows the input and output of the ISO5851 EVM for a 100-kHz clock with R
G
= 10
Ω
(R3) and
R12 = 10
Ω
and a unipolar output supply (V
CC2
= 15-V, V
EE2
= GND2). The output is measured at TP12.
