Introduction
The Evaluation Driver Board 7ED020E12-FI-W2 for EasyPIM®2B modules as can be seen in Figure 1 was
developed to support customers during their first steps designing applications with these modules. The
basic version of the board is available from Infineon in small quantities. The properties of these parts are
described in the datasheet chapter of this document whereas the remaining paragraphs provide
information intended to enable the customer to copy, modify and qualify the design for production,
according to his specific requirements.
The design of the 7ED020E12-FI-W2 was performed with respect to the environmental conditions
described as design target in the datasheet part. The requirements of RoHS compliance have been
considered when components were selected. The design was tested as described in this documentation
but not qualified regarding manufacturing and operation in the whole operating ambient temperature range
or lifetime.
The boards provided by Infineon are subjected to functional testing only.
Due to their purpose Evaluation Boards are not subjected to the same procedures regarding Returned
Material Analysis (RMA), Process Change Notification (PCN) and Product Withdraw (PWD) as regular
products.
See Legal Disclaimer and Warnings for further restrictions on Infineons warranty and liability.

Application note
The evaluation board is powered by an external single power supply of +15 V at connector X4. A linear
voltage regulator (IC7) provides from this source a second supply voltage of 5 V for the logic selector (IC5,
IC6), timer (IC8), and comparators of IC1 to IC4. By default boot-strap circuits provide power to the highside IGBT drivers. The connectors X1, X2 and X3 offer the option of using three external power supplies
for the high-side drivers instead of the boot-strap circuits.
The EasyPIM®2B terminals EU, EV, EW and NB are shorted and connected through a shunt resistor R8
to the negative DC link voltage. Also GND for the drivers and peripheral electronic is connected to the
negative DC link voltage. There is no galvanic isolation of common GND and negative DC link voltage.
The logic selector (IC5, IC6) consists of two 74AC86 and sets the Active HIGH/LOW logic of the PWM
inputs and the Enable signal for the drivers according to Table 1. The selection for either active HIGH or
Active LOW logic is done by jumper J1. An external Enable signal at connector X5-7 is needed to turn on
the drivers. In case the driver stages are not enabled, the timer output (IC8, Pin 3) has always HIGH state,
which forces all drivers to shutdown through Q2 by a LOW signal at input /SD.
The following table shows the truth table for the active high/low configuration:

Furthermore the electronic is constantly monitoring for short circuits, over currents and over temperature.
In the event of a fault the timer input will be triggered (IC8, Pin 2) by a HIGH to LOW transition and sets
the timer output (IC8, Pin 3) to HIGH. This HIGH signal will switch on Q1 and Q2. Q1 will signal the fault to
Pin X5-8 (open-collector output) and Q2 will shutdown all drivers through the /SD input. The timer output
will be reset to LOW defined by a delay time t = R20 • C23. In case the LOW signal at the trigger input
remains the timer will wait until the trigger input receives a HIGH signal.

following figures show the switching behavior at nominal current of 35A. The test was done at 25°C,
125°C and 150°C, 600V DC link voltage and 12Ω gate resistor conditions.

The switching losses are comparable with the values in listed in the datasheet.
Furthermore there is no parasitic switching on to be observed in the turn on transient.
3.2
Over and short circuit current protection
The shunt resistor voltage is filtered by an RC circuit (R19, C21) and forwarded to OP31 and OP4. OP3 is
configured as non-inverting amplifier; OP4 is configured as inverting amplifier. Diode D12 and D13 are
used to detect the maximum of both amplifier outputs. Therefore over current-protection is provided as
well for positive DC-link current and for negative DC-link current. CP3 compares the voltage from amplifier
OP3 to a reference voltage for over-current measurement, whereas CP4 detects short circuit-currents.
The basic difference between CP3 and CP4 is the different reference voltage and time constant of the
input RC-filters. In case the measured over- or short-circuit-current passes the threshold the associated
comparator output turns LOW and triggers the timer input (IC8, Pin 2).
A typical short circuit test was done:
1
The OP3 means the operation amplifier integrated in IC3. The same designation is used for the other CPs and OPs.

To change the threshold of the over-current detection the reference voltage of CP3 has to be modified, i.e.
increasing (decreasing) of R27 will increase (decrease) the threshold. To change the threshold time the
RC circuit of R25 and C33 has to be modified, e.g. increasing (decreasing) of R25 will increase (decrease)
the time.
To change the threshold of the short-circuit-current detection the reference voltage of CP4 has to be
modified, i.e. increasing (decreasing) of R29 will increase (decrease) the threshold. To change the
threshold time the RC circuit of R26 and C34 has to be modified, e.g. increasing (decreasing) of R26 will
increase (decrease) the time.
3.3
Brake chopper
The DC link voltage is scaled down to a low voltage by resistors R36 to R44. The resulting voltage is
compared by CP2 with a reference voltage. In case the DC link voltage is above the threshold, the output
drives the low-side driver of IC4, which turns on the gate of the brake chopper. CP2 has a hysteresis
defined by R47. To change the threshold for the brake chopper DC link voltage detection the reference
voltage of CP2 has to be modified, i.e. increasing (decreasing) of R46 will increase (decrease) the
threshold. The upper and lower threshold is defined by R47.
3.4
Over temperature protection
Based on the built-in NTC in the module the bottom copper plane temperature will be monitored and in
case of over temperature the driver will be shut down.
The NTC together with R31 build a voltage divider, the voltage will be fed to the CP1 and compared with a
reference voltage defined by the voltage divider consisting of R32 and R33. In case of over temperature
the output of CP1 will be switched to low and triggers the timer input to switch down the drivers.
Notice: This temperature measurement is not suitable for short circuit detection or short term overload and
may be used to protect the module from long term overload conditions or malfunction of the cooling
system.
3.5
/Fault output
In case of short circuit, over current or over temperature the /Fault Pin (X5-8) will be switched to low to
report an error to the microcontroller. After a definable delay time t=R20*C23 the driver will be switched on
again if the fault condition does not exist anymore. So in case of fault condition, it is very important that the
microcontroller is informed about the error and has been programmed to perform suitable actions.

3.6
RMS current and DC link voltage limits
The RMS current of the board is limited to be 10A.
The maximum DC link voltage is limited to be 800V. With a brake resistor connected, the brake chopper
will limit the DC link voltage according to the set point as described in section 3.3.
3.7
Indication of the surge current at turning on of the board
The board has built-in thermistors to prevent the rectifier diodes from the surge current at plugging in.
Once the board is plugged into the power supply with the thermistors being still cold, the input current will
be limited. After a while, the thermistors will get hot and the resistance decrease to provide a low
impedance power supply for the board.
Notice: After a while of operation, the thermistors are getting hot and have a low
resistance value. If the board is disconnected from the power supply and is connected
again immediately, it is possible to damage the rectifier diodes with large surge current.
3.8
Cooling condition
The board is provided without heat sink. However, a heat sink is necessary for the proper operation of the
board. For dimension of heat sink, it is recommended to refer to the software IPOSIM from Infineon.
