3.4.3 Secondary-Side Bias Supply

The secondary-side power supply block converts the +12-V input voltage to +15-V/-4-V bipolar bias voltage supply for the secondary side of the gate drivers. Each gate driver has its own bias supply. This is achieved by using one UCC34141 Isolated Bias. The bias supply voltage can be adjusted by changing the FBVDD, FBVEE resistor and capacitor values. The details will be added in the next revision of the user guide.
