Abstract

The RDGD31603PSMKEVM three-phase inverter is a functional hardware

power inverter reference design which can be used as a foundation to

develop a complete ASIL-D compliant high voltage, high-power traction

motor inverter for electric vehicles. The kit can be used as a double pulse and

short circuit tester to measure key switching parameters, or as a three-phase

inverter for motor control.
