FRDMGD3162HBIEVM half-bridge evaluation board
4.4 Board description
The FRDMGD3162HBIEVM is a half-bridge evaluation board populated with two GD3162
single channel IGBT or SiC gate drive devices. The board supports connection to
an FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller for SPI communication configuration programming
and monitoring. The board includes DESAT circuitry for short-circuit detection and
implementation of GD3162 shutdown protection capabilities.
The evaluation board is designed to connect to a HybridPACK Drive module for
evaluation of the GD3162 performance and capabilities.

4.4.1 Low-voltage logic and control connector
Low-voltage domain is 5 V VDD domain that interfaces with the MCU and GD3162
control registers through the 24-pin connector interface.
Low-side driver and high-side driver domains are driver control interfaces to HybridPACK
Drive module single phase connections and test points.
