2.4 Voltage Domains, GD3130 Pinout And Logic Connection Headers

Low-voltage domain is an externally supplied 12 V DC (VPWR) primary supply for non-isolated circuits, typically supplied by a vehicle battery. A 5 V regulator supplies VDD to GD3130 gate drive devices derived from 1VPWR. The low-voltage domain includes the interface between the MCU and GD3130 control registers and logic control.

Low-side driver and high-side driver domains are isolated high-voltage driver control domains for SiC MOSFET or IGBT single phase connections and control circuits. Mill-Max pins (part number 0405-0-15-15-34-27-04-0) can be installed on the bottom of the board to connect easily to a compatible three-phase SiC MOSFET or IGBT module.

2.5 Gd3130 Pinout And MCU Interfaces And Power Domains

See GD3130 advanced IGBT/SiC gate driver data sheet for specific information about pinout, pin descriptions, specifications and operating modes. The P2 VPWR terminal supplies DC power to the nonisolated die and related circuitry in the low-voltage domain. The input is typically supplied by vehicle battery +12 V DC.

The 2 × 23-pin P1 connector interfaces with the S32K396-HPWR-MC control board or another compatible MCU board. . An MCU is needed for SPI communication and control of advanced IGBT/SiC gate drive devices (GD3130).

The KITGD31XXTREVM (not included) can be connect to this board at J1 header pin interface. FlexGUI 2 provides SPI access to all six gate drivers.
