The FRDMGD3100HBIEVM provides configurability for different gate driver power
architectures. Steps for some common configurations are summarized below. The
jumper functionalities are detailed in
.
4.4.3.1 Configuring power delivery to GD3100
To configure GD3100 for 12 V power - open VDD, provide 12 V to VSUP connection
(default):
•
Open VDDH (J29) jumper
•
Open VDDL (J6) jumper
•
Connect 12 V to VSUP (TP2)
To configure GD3100 for 5.0 V power - short VDD to VSUP, provide 5.0 V to VSUP
connection:
•
Short VDDH (J29) jumper
•
Short VDDL (J6) jumper
•
Connect 5.0 V to VSUP (TP2)
4.4.3.2 Configuring VEE for gate drive (GL)
To configure for negative VEE, provided by onboard zener network (default):
•
Connect VEEH_SEL (J1) jumper to 1-2
•
Connect VEEL_SEL (J2) jumper to 1-2
•
VEE for high-side provided by Zener (D2) and bias resistors (R2, R3)
•
VEE for low-side provided by Zener (D4) and bias resistors (R12, R7)
To configure for VEE = 0 V, VEE tied to IGBT emitter:
•
Connect VEEH_SEL (J1) jumper to 2-3
•
Connect VEEL_SEL (J2) jumper to 2-3
•
Tune VCC-VEE output voltage (high and low sides) with feedback resistor (R20)
4.4.3.3 Configuring VCC for gate drive (GH)
To utilize internal VCC regulator (VCCREG = ~15 V) for gate drive (default):
•
Open VCCH (J3) jumper
•
Open VCCL (J6) jumper
•
Ensure VCCREG is fixed around 15 V above isolated GNDH, GNDL
To disable VCC regulator, drive gate directly from VCC:
•
Short VCCH (J3) jumper
•
Short VCCL (J6) jumper
•
Tune VCC-GNDx output voltage (high and low sides) with feedback resistor (R20)
