The SECO-NCD5700-GEVB daughter card includes a high-current, stand-alone NCD5700 IGBT gate driver, with a FODM217D single-channel phototransistor optocoupler, and two FODM611 high immunity logic gate output optocouplers, plus all of the necessary drive circuitry. Any MOSFET or SiC MOSFET in a TO-247 high-voltage through-hole package can be soldered and testing.

The daughter card is compatible with the SECO-GDBB-EVB gate drivers baseboard for testing up to 3 half-bridge daughter cards simultaneously to compare performance.

STMicroelectronics

The EVLGANSPIN1-3PH is a three-phase inverter reference design based on GANSPIN611 and an STM32G431RB Arm® Cortex™-M4 MCU at 170MHz, built for sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) and brushless dc (BLDC) motors. 

The board includes a 230V ac mains input filter and rectifier, uses a 3-shunt topology, and demonstrates typical power up to 400W at 16kHz with dV/dt tuned to 10V/ns for EMI and motor reliability. It provides UART, Hall sensor, and SWD interfaces and includes 12V, 5V, and 3.3V supply rails generated with VIPER06LS, with shunt amplifiers using TSV911ILT.

Nordic Semiconductor

The nPM2100-EK allows for easy, code-free configuration of the nPM2100 PMIC through the nPM PowerUP application. The kit includes add-on boards and holders for AA, AAA, LR44, and CR2032 batteries for evaluation of different battery combinations. Settings can be configured via a graphical user interface (GUI) and exported as code for implementation in firmware. The board provides access to all PMIC functions including fuel gauge and power-saving modes.

 

STMicroelectronics

The EVLSTGAP3SXS-H is a half-bridge evaluation board designed to evaluate the STGAP3SXS isolated single gate driver for SiC MOSFETs.

The STGAP3SXS offers 10A current capability, rail-to-rail outputs and optimized UVLO and desaturation protection thresholds for SiC MOSFETS. This makes the STGAP3SXS optimal for high-power motor drivers in industrial applications.

The gate driver has a single output pin and a driver line for an external Miller clamp N-channel MOSFET, which optimizes the suppression of positive and negative gate spikes during fast commutations in half-bridge topologies.

The board is supplied by the 5V VAUX connection, which feeds the isolated dc-dc converters for the low-side and high-side driving sections. The gate drivers can be directly supplied by VAUX if a 5V MCU is used, or by the onboard linear regulator if a 3.3V MCU is used. The PWM and Reset inputs can be easily controlled through dedicated connectors while diagnostic outputs are connected to an onboard LED.

Device protection features for desaturation, soft turn-off, and Miller clamp are connected to the recommended network on the board and can be easily evaluated through the board test points.

Dual input pins allow the selection of signal polarity control and implementation of HW interlocking protection to avoid cross-conduction in case of controller malfunction.

The STGAP3SXS allows the implementation of negative gate driving, and the onboard isolated dc-dc converters allow working with optimized driving voltage for SiC MOSFETs.

The EVLSTGAP3SXS-H board allows evaluating all of the STGAP3SXS features while operating with a bus voltage up to 520V. It is possible to increase the bus voltage up to 1200V by replacing the two SiC MOSFETs with appropriate devices in a HiP247-4 package and the C4 capacitance if needed.

Renesas

Renesas offers the EK-RA8P1 evaluation kit to support development with the RA8P1 MCU. This kit includes an RA8P1 board with on-board J-Link debugger and connectors for Ethernet, USB, audio, and displays, plus a 7-inch capacitive-touch LCD and 5MP camera module for human-machine interface and vision demos.

The EK-RA8P1 comes pre-loaded with example projects showcasing the MCU 1GHz performance in voice recognition, image capture, and real-time analytics, allowing engineers to rapidly evaluate RA8P1 features using the Renesas FSP middleware and e²Studio IDE.

Infineon

AI evaluation kit targets inference and always-on workloads on PSOC™ Edge E84

The KIT_PSE84_AI evaluation kit is intended for assessment of artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads on the Infineon PSOC™ Edge E84 microcontroller. The board is configured to demonstrate the interaction between the high-performance compute domain, based on the Arm® Cortex®-M55 with Ethos™-U55 NPU, and the low-power always-on domain, which combines a Cortex-M33 core with Infineon’s NNLite neural network accelerator.

The platform supports evaluation of common edge AI use cases such as acoustic activity detection, voice processing, and sensor-based inference. Audio interfaces, sensor connectivity, including 60GHz radar and pressure sensors as well as memory access are provided to allow execution of neural network models across shared SRAM and non-volatile RRAM resources. This enables analysis of task partitioning, power-domain interaction, and inference latency under representative operating conditions.

The kit is supported by the ModusToolbox™ development environment and integrates with DEEPCRAFT™ Studio tooling for model deployment and validation. It is intended for engineers evaluating AI-enabled embedded architectures where low-power, always-on inference and higher-performance processing must operate within a single device.
