This evaluation board provides a ready-made hardware system for testing the operation of onsemi 1200V, T-type neutral point clamped (TNPC) silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET modules.
The evaluation board supports double-pulse switching testing and open-loop power testing of the onsemi TNPC modules. The evaluation board can be connected to an external controller which provides PWM inputs and handles fault signals.
The evaluation board supports two onsemi SiC MOSFET modules:
- NXH008T120M3F2PTHG TNPC module
- NXH011T120M3F2PTHG full-bridge module
The modules are based on 1200V M3S planar SiC MOSFETS which are optimized for fast switching. Planar technology works reliably with a negative gate drive voltage and turn-off spikes on the gate. The MOSFETs provide optimum performance when driven with a 20V gate-drive voltage, but also work well at 18V.
