1. Overview and Setup

1.1 Hardware

Si8284-EVB can be used to demonstrate the isolated gate drive capabilities of the installed Si8284CD-IS. The Si8284 includes a DC-

DC converter used to supply isolated power to the gate driver.

Si8284 Low Voltage Side Connections

Supply power to the input side of Si8284 by applying 12 to 24 VDC to VDDP at terminal block J1. LED D6 above terminal block J1

illuminates to show power applied. For interfacing to the low voltage side of Si8284, VDDA supply must be between 3.0 and 5.5 VDC.

Either a separate supply can be connected to VDDA terminal on J1 or 5 VDC can be derived from VDDP through the regulator circuit

and directed to VDDA through a jumper at JP4. LED D5 below terminal block J1 illuminates to show VDDA power applied.

J6-J11 single pin headers provide access to the IN+, IN-, RSTb, and SH inputs and FLTb and RDY outputs of the Si8284. These sig-

nals can be brought out to an external microcontroller using a ribbon cable (not supplied). FLTb is an open drain output and has a pull-

up resistor to VDDA. The open drain output allows multiple gate drivers FLTb outputs to share the same microcontroller input.

Driver functionality can be exercised without microcontroller by applying a GNDA referenced PWM signal from a function generator to

the IN+ and IN- inputs. Maximum input voltage is VDDA.

DC-DC Operation

The isolated DC-DC converter is set to generate (with respect to VMID) 15 V for VDDB and -9 V for VSSB. LED D8 and D7 illuminates

when VDDB and VSSB are powered respectively. DC-DC operation can be turned off by pulling terminal J11 to VDDA.

Si8284 Isolated Gate Drive Connections

There is a provision for a MOSFET or an IGBT in a TO-247 package (not supplied) at Q1.

From top to bottom, the through holes for the transistor leads are Source, Drain, and Gate. Load transistors are biased by applying

voltage across VPWR and VMID terminals of J2. This voltage should not exceed the rated VDS of the transistor or 300 V, whichever is

lower. Supply voltage constraints are summarized in the table below.

Note: Si8284 can drive the gate of either high-side or low-side MOSFET or IGBT in a bridge configuration. VMID is the same net as the

load when driving the gate of a high side MOSFET or IGBT. For a gate drive for a low side MOSFET or IGBT, VMID is the return for the

load.

Table 1.1. Supply Voltage Constraints

3.0 V ≤ VDDA – GNDA ≤ 5.5 V

12 V ≤ VDDP ≤ 24 V

VSSB ≤ VMID < VDDB

UVLO + 1 < VDDB - VSSB < 30 V

VPWR < VDS (Q)

VPWR < 300 V

|GNDA – VSSB| < 5 kV

Note:

1. UVLO+ for the Si8284CD-IS is 12.3 V.

1.2 Alternative Configurations

Positive Voltage Gate Drive Only

The standard configuration for the gate driver to apply positive voltage, VDDB-VMID, to the gate during the high drive portion of the

PWM cycle and negative voltage, VSSB-VMID, during the low drive portion of the PWM cycle. Alternatively, if only positive drive voltage

is desired, remove R13 and install a 0 Ω resistor at R19.

Prototyping Area

If additional components are needed to evaluate the gate drive function for a particular load, there is a prototyping area just below Q2

locations.

1.3 Demonstrating Driver Functionality

Even with no load present, the basic functionality of the Si8284 can be demonstrated.

1. Apply 24 V to VDDP to power both sides of the Si8284. With jumpers installed at JP4–JP8, D5–D8 will illuminate indicating sup-

plies are biased.

2. Leave VPWR unpowered. Install a jumper at JP9. This disables desaturation detection and allows for normal operation of the

Si8284. Since both sides of the Si8284 have been powered on, RDY will output 5 V, which can be observed at J8.

3. Apply 5 V to both J9, IN+ and J10, IN-. VL will turn on and –9 V will be observed across pins 1 and 3 of Q1.

4. Remove 5 V from J10 and allow IN- to be pulled to GNDA. VH will turn on and +15 V will be observed across pins 1 and 3 of Q1.

5. Remove the short between VPWR and VMID at JP9.

6. With no path for DSAT current, the voltage at the DSAT pin rises and the Si8284 will drive the output low and FLTb to 0V which

can be observed at J7.

7. Once again, place the short between VPWR and VMID at JP9. Apply 0 V to RSTb input at J6. This clears the fault and normal

operation is restored.
