This document is intended for the engineers involved in the evaluation, design, implementation, and validation of single-channel gate driver for IGBT, GD3100. The scope of this document is to provide the user with information to evaluate the single channel gate driver for IGBT, GD3100. This document covers connecting the hardware, installing the software and tools, configuring the environment and using the kit. The RDGD3100F3PH5EVB is a fully functional three-phase inverter evaluation board populated with six GD3100 gate drivers with fault management and supporting circuitry. This board supports SPI daisy chain communication for programming and communication with three high-side gate drivers and three low-side gate drivers independently. This board has low-voltage and high-voltage isolation in conjunction with gate drive integrated galvanic signal isolation. Other supporting features on the board include IGBT current sense and desaturation short-circuit detection, IGBT temperature sensing, DC Link bus voltage monitoring, phase current sensing, and motor resolver excitation and signal processing connection circuitry. See GD3100 data sheet for additional gate drive features. 2 Finding kit resources and information on the NXP web site The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products.
