FRDMGD3160DCMHB

FRDMGD3160DCMHB is a half-bridge evaluation kit populated with two GD3160 single channel IGBT/SiC MOSFET gate drive devices. The kit includes the Freedom KL25Z microcontroller hardware for interfacing a PC installed with Flex GUI software for communication to the SPI registers on the GD3160 gate drive devices in either daisy chain or standalone configuration. The KITGD3160TREVB translator board is used to translate 3.3 V signals to 5.0 V signals between the MCU and GD3160 gate drivers. The evaluation kit is designed to connect to a Danfoss DCM™1000X module for half-bridge evaluations and applications development. If three phase testing is required, 3 x FRDMGD3160DCMHB can be connected together and driven directly from a single KITGD3160TREVB.

• Compatible with DCM™1000X SiC module
• Flex GUI GUI available for use with kit
• Daisy chain SPI interface configurability
• Easy to configure jumper options
• SPI configurable register options using flex GUI
• Double pulse and short circuit evaluation with a single kit
• Three phase evaluation with three kits daisy-chained
• Fibre optic connections option for external PWM inputs
