EVALSTDRIVE601

EVALSTDRIVE601 Demonstration Board

STMicroelectronics EVALSTDRIVE601 Demonstration Board is a complete 3-phase inverter used to evaluate the STDRIVE601 triple half-bridge high-voltage gate driver. The power stage features STGD6M65DF2 IGBTs, but can be populated with any IGBT or power MOSFET in a DPAK or powerFLAT 8x8 HV package. The board supports a three shunt or a single shunt current sensing topology. A strip connector allows an easy interfacing with MCU control. The STDRIVE601 is a 600V gate driver device manufactured with BCD6s offline technology. It's a single chip with three half-bridge gate drivers for N-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs suitable for 3-phase applications. The device integrates three bootstrap diodes and a smart shutdown feature. This feature is able to detect an overcurrent state very quickly, minimising the propagation delay between the overcurrent event and the output switch-off.
