CoolGaN™ IPS half-bridge evaluation board
with IGI60F1414A1L
Author: Robert Vartanian
About this document
Scope and purpose
This application note explains how to setup and use the CoolGaN™ Integrated Power Stage (IPS) half-bridge
evaluation board featuring Infineon’s 600 V IGI60F1414A1L
chipset. The board features an isolated power
supplies for the gate drivers along with input logic that provides adjustable dead time. Additionally, the board
provides direct access to the logic inputs of the CoolGaN™ IPS chipset to drive the chipset with an external
microcontroller or digital signal processor (DSP). Using an external inductor, the board can be setup for buck,
boost, inverter operation, double-pulse testing or continuous pulse width modulation (PWM) operation and hard
or soft-switching at power levels up to 100 W and frequencies up to 1 MHz range.
Intended audience
This application note is intended for power electronic design engineers, applications engineers and students
who are familiar with MOSFET or IGBT-based converters.
