TIDA-010255
230VAC, 2kW three-phase GaN inverter reference design for robotics and servo drives
TIDA-010255
Overview
This reference design demonstrates a high-efficiency 320-VDC input, three-phase power stage using six fast switching GaN-FETs with integrated driver, protection and temperature reporting with hot-side microcontroller control, especially for motor-integrated servo drives and robotics applications. Accurate phase-current sensing is achieved with isolated delta-sigma modulators. The DC-link voltage is measured with a non-isolated small form-factor delta-sigma modulator and an analog phase voltage feedback option allows validation of advanced sensorless designs like InstaSPIN-FOC™. For easy evaluation, this design offers a 3.3-V I/O interface signal with a 180-pin connector for C2000™ microcontroller controlCARDs, as well as a standard header to connect to other microcontrollers, such as the Sitara™ AM2631.
Features
- 99.4% peak power efficiency at 16kHz PWM with 320-V DC-link voltage to help reduce the size of the heatsink
- 600-V, 30-mΩ GaN FET with integrated driver and protection increase reliability and reduce system cost
- On-chip temperature sensor enables precise monitoring of the die temperature to maximize safe operation area (SOA)
- Zero reverse recovery losses reduce switch node oscillations and low dead time of 120ns minimize phase voltage distortions
- Precision phase current sensing with ±50A linear range using 1-mΩ shunt and isolated delta-sigma modulator
- Interface with 3.3-V I/O enables easy evaluation of TI GaN technology for motor drives with C2000™, Sitara™ or other microcontrollers
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
