1.2 Considerations

  • One lab power supply needs to provide the KL30 input voltage.
  • One more lab power supply needs to provide 3.3 V for the primary gate driver supply and logic circuits.
  • A jumper is needed on J2 to choose between manual gate-drive strength selection via I/O or through SPI.
  • For the tests, no IGBT module was connected to the PCB.
