Broadcom Inc. Gate Drive Evaluation Board For ACPL-P343/W343 EVBD-ACPL-P343

The ACPL-P34X/W34X evaluation board allows a power inverter designer to easily test the drive, rail-to-rail and speed capability of the ACPL-P343/W343 gate drive optocoupler. The evaluation board includes two separate gate drive channels (one optocoupler per channel) making it a half-bridge topology for driving directly the gates of high-side and low-side IGBTs of a power inverter (such as single-phase motor inverter or one phase of a 3-phase motor inverter). This evaluation board can also support ACPL-P341/W341 and ACPL-P340/W340. Features Half-Bridge topology Footprints for bootstrap power supply configuration Works for IGBT TO-220 / TO-247 type Able to evaluate the 4 A drive, rail-to-rail and speed performance Footprints for PCB mounting terminal blocks for wire connections to motor Split resistors network to achieve high CMR response Example of good bypass capacitors layout Applications Isolated IGBT/MOSFET Gate Drive AC and Brushless DC Motor Drives Industrial Inverters Renewable Energy Inverters Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
