Because of the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., TI E2E™ design support forum responses may be delayed from November 25 through December 2. Thank you for your patience.
Part Number: ISO5851EVM Hi,
We have the following question from one of our customers:
“Can ISO5851EVM be used with a DC bus? If so, is it possible to control the voltage on a DC bus with one IGBT, similar to a DC brake chopper? “
Could you…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ISO5851EVM , TIDA-00195 Hello,
The Vce rating of ISO5851EVM is 50V. However the customer would like to apply 500V to Vce.
Can we use the ISO5851EVM in Vce of 500V if we change some parts from default EVM? If yes, could you…
Hi,
ISO5500 is a very old part which we are not recommending for new designs. THe supply is limited and the price is very high.
We strongly suggest you to use ISO5451 / ISO5851. They much lower cost than ISO5500, but pin equivalent. We can provided the…
Hello Donald, Unfortunately we do not have sample boards for this TI design available with us. As an alternate you can order below EVMs from ti store using which you should be able to evaluate the isolated gate driver.

Thanks Xiong for all those answers!
Two extra questions:
I'm designing my PCB and need to size my traces appropriately, so just wondering what's the maximum current that might flow between the DESAT pin and the IGBT collector terminal? I would have thought…
