6 Getting to know the hardware
6.1 RDGD3162I3PH5EVB features
• Capability to perform double pulse and short-circuit tests on phase U using
KITGD316xTREVB and FlexGUI; see phase U schematics and FlexGUI pulse tab
( Figure 24 and Figure 25 )
• Evaluation board designed for and populated with GD3162 gate drivers and protection
circuitry
• Capability to connect to HybridPACK drive type SiC specific modules for full
three-phase evaluation and development (see Figure 9 for specific module pin
placement)
• Daisy chain SPI communication × 3 - 2 channel (three high-side gate drivers and three
low-side gate drivers) or × 6 - 1 channel (all six gate drivers)
• Variable flyback VCC power supply with GND reference and variable negative VEE
supply
• Easy access power, ground, and signal test points
• 2 × 32 Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) socket for interfacing MCU
control (MPC5775B/E-EVB, MPC5777C-DEVB, or MPC57744P); see Figure 26 and
Figure 27
• Optional connection for DC bus voltage and current monitoring
• Phase current feedback connections
• Resolver signal connector
6.2 Kit featured components
6.2.1 Voltage domains, GD3162 pinout, logic header, and IGBT pinout
Low-voltage domain is an externally supplied 12 V DC (VPWR) primary supply for
non-isolated circuits, typically supplied by vehicle battery. A 5 V regulator supplies VDD
to GD3162 gate drive devices. The low-voltage domain includes the interface between
the MCU and GD3162 control registers and logic control.
Low-side driver and high-side driver domains are isolated high-voltage driver control
domains for SiC MOSFET or IGBT single phase connections and control circuits. Pins
on bottom of board are designed to easily connect to a compatible three-phase SiC
MOSFET or IGBT module.
