RDGD31603PHSEVM VE-Trac™ Drive Reference Design

NXP Semiconductors RDGD31603PHSEVM VE-Trac™ Drive Reference Design demonstrates a three-phase inverter circuit based on six GD3160 Gate Drivers. The GD3160 is an advanced single-channel high-voltage isolated Gate Driver with enhanced features for driving and protecting Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs or IGBTs and functional safety. The RDGD3160I3PH5EVB supports SPI daisy chain communication for programming and communication with three high-side gate drivers and three low-side gate drivers independently. The Reference Design includes fault management and all supporting circuitry. Other supporting features on the board include desaturation short-circuit detection, IGBT/SiC temperature sensing, DC Link bus voltage monitoring, phase current sensing, and motor resolver excitation and signal processing connection circuitry.
