EVAL-1ED3890MX12M
Evaluation board for EiceDRIVER™ X3 single-channel highly flexible isolated gate driver family
The EVAL-1ED3890MX12M is in half-bridge configuration with two gate driver ICs (1ED3890MX12M) to drive power switches such as IGBTs, MOSFETs and SiC MOSFETs. The switch type can be freely chosen. The board has a size of 85 x 85 x 15 mm without any power switch assembled.
The board is best suited to leverage the highly configurable X3 Digital (1ED38xx) family with its rich feature-set. Configuration is performed via I2C bus.
The evaluation board is recommended to be used with a companion microcontroller evaluation board EVAL-1ED38X0DCT to optimize the configuration process.
Summary of Features

- Adjustable Clamp/Clamp driver/ADC pin
- Two precise VCEsat detection (DESAT2) circuit with fault output, adjustable leading edge blanking time and individually adjustable trigger voltages, filter times
- Two-level turn-off (TLTO) with adjustable slopes, plateau time and plateau level
- Adjustable soft turn-off after desaturation detection
- Adjustable hardware UVLO with hysteresis for IGBTs and MOSFETs on both VCC2 and VEE2 rails with active shutdown
- ADC measurement of internal parameters: supply voltages and internal temperature
- 40 V absolute maximum output supply voltage
- ± 9 A typical sourcing and sinking gate current capability
- High common-mode transient immunity CMTI = 200 kV/µs
- Small space-saving DSO-16 fine-pitch package with large creepage distance ( >8 mm)
- Gate driver safety certification according to UL 1577 and VDE 0884-11
Benefits
- Enables fast design cycles due to low external component count and still offers adjustable DESAT with Soft-off functionality
