The FRDMGD3100HBIEVM provides configurability for accessing the GD3100 under a
few different controls schemes. Some common configurations are summarized below,
along with steps to adapt the driver board are described. The jumper functionalities are
.
4.4.4.1 SPI configuration options
To configure for normal SPI; low and high side GD3100s are addressable separately
(default):
•
Set CSB (J34) jumper to 1-2
•
Set MISO (J35) jumper to 1-2
•
Short MOSI (J30) jumper
•
From SPIGen, “SPI0” addresses low-side GD3100 (U4) with CSBL; use “SPI1” to
address high-side GD3100 (U3) with CSBH.
To configure both GD3100 in daisy-chain configuration:
•
Set CSB (J34) jumper to 2-3
•
Set MISO (J35) jumper to 2-3
•
Open MOSI (J30) jumper
•
From SPIGen, use “SPI0” to address both devices in daisy-chain configuration; “SPI1”
will be inactive.
4.4.4.2 Configuring dead time application in hardware
To enable dead time and cross-conduction protection, PWMALT receives complimentary
signals (default):
•
Set PWMHSEL (J32) to 1-2
•
Set PWMLSEL (J31) to 1-2
To bypass dead time insertion (set PWMALT = 0) for specialized testing:
•
Set PWMHSEL (J32) to 2-3
•
Set PWMLSEL (J31) to 2-3
4.4.4.3 Setting method of power supply control (VCCx, VEEx)
VCC and VEE flyback controllers are always ON (default):
•
Connect PS_EN (J25) jumper to 2-3
