DRV8353RS-EVM: Evaluation board for isolated half bridge driver with GUI

Part Number: DRV8353RS-EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCC5880INVERTEREVM

Tool/software:

I'm looking for a complete (even if I have to get modules from different supplier) for a programmable half bridge SIC gate driver.

I'm looking for a SIC driver board (isolated), which allows to program various parameter (dead-time , PWM, frequency, ect… ) through a simple GUI (USB or serial). I'm very confused by all the various boards, and I don't want to order something that won't do any of that.

The SIC in question can be 900V~1200V. Preferably I would like to be able to try various SIC. The timing doesn't need to be crazy accurate (I can adjust with measurements), although it would be nice. But it would need to be stable and good resolution. Anyway, If anyone has a good suggestion for a board(s) that has all the GUI to program all that, it would be very appreciated.

  • Hello,

    The range you are looking for is outside the range our 3 phase driver catalog can provide.

    The max we have for 3 phase BLDC gate drivers is ~100V (Which is what this forum is responsible for)

    You can view our half bridge driver catalog at the link below:

    https://www.ti.com/power-management/gate-drivers/half-bridge-drivers/overview.html

    If you have any questions on these parts, you can create a post on the power management forum. (Sorry for the confusion here)

    If you scroll down the page at the link above you can see the half bridge drivers broken down in a table, by voltage range, among other things.

    Thanks,

    Joseph

  • Hi Jospeh,
    Thank you for the reply.
    I guess, I'm looking for something like :UCC5880INVERTEREVM

    What would be the simplest way to get it? It seems that I need an NDA.

  • Hi Benjamin,

    An NDA is required in order to get an EVM of this device, there's no way around it unfortunately.

    Please reach out to your local TI representative to get started on setting up an NDA. For you that will be Brian Gosselin (bgosselin@ti.com).

    Also, I recommend the UCC5880EVM-057 instead of the inverter EVM. The inverter EVM is not intended for general purpose evaluation, and you'll likely find the 057 EVM much more suited to your evaluation.
