The ISO5500EVM can be used to evaluate device parameters while acting as a guide for board layout. The board allows the user to evaluate device performance using a simulated (10nF) IGBT load installed on the board, or to install an IGBT or MOSFET (TO 247 package)onto the board and drive it with the ISO5500. The ISO5500 is an isolated gate driver for IGBTs and MOSFETs with power ratings of up to IC = 150A and VCE = 600V. Input TTL logic and output power stage are separated by a capacitive, silicon dioxide (SiO2), isolation barrier. When used in conjunction with isolated power supplies, the device blocks high voltage, isolates ground, and prevents noise currents from entering the local ground and interfering with or damaging sensitive circuitry. The device provides over current protection to an IGBT or MOSFET while an undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the output power supply to ensure sufficient gate drive voltage.
