onsemi Evaluation Boards for Full Bridge and Half Bridge SiC Modules

The PCEVBUM2878 and PCEVBUM2880 are evaluation boards designed for evaluation of onsemi’s 1200V M3S full bridge (PCEVBUM2878) and half bridge (PCEVBUM2880) Silicon Carbide power modules.

The purpose of the evaluation board is double pulse switching test and open loop power test of onsemi full bridge modules.

1200 V M3S 2-Pack and 4-Pack SiC MOSFET Module Evaluation Boards  

These products use SiC M3S technology to be fast and rugged and include system benefits from high efficiency to reduced system size and cost.

The 2-Pack and 4-Pack modules are managed by isolated single gate drivers, offering 2.5 kV RMS insulation between the primary and secondary sides. An isolated DC/DC source supplies the gate drive voltage. The board features an integrated DC-link with the flexibility to incorporate various types of film capacitors. Additionally, the evaluation board can connect to an external controller that provides PWM inputs and manages fault signals.

Features

  • 4 Layer FR4 PCB with 70 μm Copper Thickness
  • High Thermal Emissivity − Black PCB Color
  • 4 Isolated Single Gate Drivers with 2.5 kV Insulation
  • Connector Base for Input and Output Signals
  • Integrated Film DC−link
  • Mounting Holes for Connection Rogowski Coil and Measurement Probes
  • Low Inductance PCB Layout

Applications

These products are used in energy infrastructure applications such as PV inverters, UPS, or EV chargers to improve efficiency and power density compared with IGBT or super junction MOSFET solutions.
