EVM Configurations
shows the EVM board top view and circuit layout partitions. The EVM has the following ports:
•
48VDC-Port: Connected to 48-V battery rail
•
12VDC-Port: Connected to 12-V battery rail
•
J17 (60-Pin Header): Interfacing the external control commands or MCU
•
J18 (60-Pin Header): Interfacing the slave EVM’s J17 in a 4-phase system consisting of two EVMs
•
Master Enable Using J17-pin 5: Providing a voltage of 2.5 V to 6 V to operate the EVM.
•
Channel Current Setting: Analog programming at J17-pin 11, and digital programming at J17-pin 13.
through
list the functions of the EVM jumpers and headers. They offer flexible
configurability and programmability of the EVM for various use cases including but not limited to the
following:
•
A unidirectional or bidirectional current source
•
A unidirectional or bidirectional voltage source
•
Dynamic phase adding and shedding in a 4-phase system consisting of two EVMs
•
Dynamic MOSFETs dead time adjustment
•
Individual channel current monitoring or total current monitoring
•
Programmable undervoltage lockout (unpopulated)
•
Synchronization to external clock
•
External shutdown command through nFAULT pin (J17-pin45)
