Using the UCC14240EVM-052 for Biasing Traction Inverter 
Gate Driver ICs Requiring Single, Positive or Dual, 
Positive/Negative Bias Power

ABSTRACT

This user’s guide provides a description and directions for the use of the UCC14240EVM-052 to evaluate the 
UCC14240-Q1, high frequency, integrated transformer, DC-DC converter module from Texas Instruments. This 
EVM allows designers to quickly and efficiently evaluate the UCC14240-Q1 for use in automotive or industrial 
applications requiring gate driver IC bias power, meeting up to 3 kVRMS isolation.
