Figure 12. Evaluation board and system setup

5.2 Quick start

5.2.1 Scope and purpose

This section provides comprehensive quick start notes for the FRDMGD3100HBIEVM

half-bridge evaluation kit. Within a few minutes the user can install SPIGEN application

on a PC, power up the half-bridge evaluation kit, start SPI communication, and pass

PWM signals to evaluate working operation.

5.2.2 Intended audience

Experienced engineers evaluating GD3100 gate drive device for IGBT control.

5.2.3 Setting up and connecting the evaluation kit

1. Download and Install latest SPIGEN software – Windows application from NXP.com

to your PC (see

Section 6.2 "Configuring the FRDM-KL25Z microcode"

2. Assemble the FRDMGD3100HBIEVM with KL25Z micro board and translator board

as shown in

3. Check jumper configuration on the evaluation board before powering up, and ensure

the configuration meets desired use case.

a. The default jumper configuration (shipped from factory) is setup normal SPI (non-

daisy chain) communication with high-side and low-side driver domains VEE

negative supply level active. Also, ensure jumper J233 is populated on Translator

board for powering KL25Z micro.
