The EVLSTGAP3S6S is a half-bridge evaluation board for evaluating the STGAP3S6S isolated single gate driver from STMicroelectronics.
The STGAP3S6S features a maximum 6 A current capability, rail-to-rail outputs, and optimized under-voltage lockout and desaturation protection thresholds for silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETS. It is ideal for use in high-power industrial motor drivers.
The gate driver has a single Output pin and a driver line for an external Miller clamp N-channel MOSFET: this optimizes the suppression of positive and negative gate spikes during fast commutations in half-bridge topologies.
Device protection features 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 hardware interlocking protection to avoid cross-conduction in case of controller malfunction.
The gate driver allows negative gate driving, and the onboard isolated dc-dc converters provide an optimized drive voltage for SiC MOSFETs.
