Evaluation board for SiC MOSFET SCT4036KW7
HB2637L-EVK-301
This quick start guide will help you understand the connection, operating Instructions and important notices and warnings that need to be carefully
reviewed prior to use of the board (Figure 1). For further information please refer to the user guide (No. 65UG002E Rev.001).
The evaluation board is configured in a half bridge set up and thus allows evaluations in different operations modes such as buck, boost,
synchronous buck/boost and inverter operations. The board is equipped with two SiC MOSFETs (SCT4036KW7), isolated gate driver
BM61S41RFV-C, isolated power supply required for the gate driver, LDO for 5V supply and easy to interface connectors for PWM signals.

Important Notice
This evaluation board is intended for
product evaluation in a research and development context only
and is not intended for resale to end
consumers and it is not authorized for end customer or household use. This board may not comply with CE or similar standards (including, but
not limited to the EMC directive 2004/EC/108) and may not fulfil other requirements of the country it will be operated in by the user. The user
shall ensure that the evaluation board will be handled in a way that is compliant with all the standards and regulations in the country it will be
operated in.
The evaluation board provided here has only been subjected to functional testing under typical load conditions. The design of this evaluation
board is tested by ROHM only as described in the user guide for this board. The design is not qualified in terms of safety requirements,
manufacturing and operation over the entire operating temperature range or lifetime.
This evaluation board may only be used by authorized personnel that is properly trained in recognizing and dealing with the dangers
of testing high voltage equipment and generally experimenting with high voltage circuits.
Ensure you review this user guide as it contains
important safety warnings. At all times, follow the applicable safety rules for dealing with high voltages. Do not connect or disconnect any wires
or probes to the evaluation board, while it is connected to a power supply. Take care that capacitors on the board have discharged fully before
touching any part of the board. Always place the evaluation board under appropriate covers, such as in a Perspex box, to protect against
accidental touching of high voltage parts BEFORE applying a voltage supply to the board.
