4.6.2 Configuring the translator for external PWM control
The translator may be setup to pass externally provided signals to the driver board,
normally applied at EXT_PWML (TP10) and EXT_PWMH (TP11) test points. These
signals do not pass through the translator, so their logic level must match those required
by the GD3100 populated on the driver board.
To configure the translator board for external PWM control, perform the following:
1. Open PWMH (J235) jumper.
2. Open PWML (J236) jumper.
3. Apply desired PWM function between EXT_PWML (TP10) and GND (TP12).
4. Apply desired PWM function between EXT_PWMH (TP11) and GND (TP12).
4.6.3 Configuring the translator for 5.0 V logic operation
This configuration is for use with the 5.0 V gate driver device (MC33GD3100EK)
populated on the driver board. The attached KL25Z has a 5.0 V supply (drawn from USB
power bus) that is pinned out to the translator for this purpose.
To configure the translator board to send/receive 5.0 V logic level signals, perform the
following:
1. Set VCCSEL (J233) jumper to 1-2.
4.6.4 Configuring the translator for 3.3 V logic operation
This configuration is for use with the 3.3 V gate driver device (MC33GD3100A3EK)
populated on the driver board. The attached KL25Z has a 3.3 V regulator onboard that is
pinned out to the translator for this purpose.
To configure the translator board to send/receive 3.3 V logic level signals, perform the
following:
1. Set VCCSEL (J233) jumper to 2-3.
