MA3AE12_EVAL – Isolating Amplifier
Application Note AN 2010-05
V1.1, June 2014
for current measurement with MIPAQTM Base
1.
Introduction
The MA3AE12_EVAL current measurement board as shown in Figure 1 was developed to support
TM
user during their first steps designing applications with the MIPAQ base modules.
The MA3AE12 current measurement evaluation boards are available from Infineon in small quantities.
Functions and 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.
The design of the MA3AE12 was performed with respect to the environmental conditions described as
design target in this document. The requirements for lead free reflow soldering 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 ambient temperature operating range or
lifetime.
The boards provided by Infineon are subjected to functional testing only.
Due to their purpose, the evaluation boards are not subjected to the same procedures regarding
Returned Material Analysis (RMA), Process Change Notification (PCN) and Product Discontinuation
(PD) as regular products.
See legal disclaimer and warnings for further restrictions on Infineon’s warranty and liability.

Functionality
The MA3AE12 board offers a reliable and cost efficient solution to sense each output phase current of
TM
the MIPAQ base in Figure 2. MA3AE12 requires to be powered by two different sources. The
primary side of MA3AE12 can be powered by respectively floating top igbt gate driver voltage supply.
The second side of MA3AE12 can be powered by one external source. This could be the same
supply that is used for the external control unit.

The voltage from the current sensing resistor is applied to the input Rs+ and Rs- through an RC antialiasing filter (R1 and C2). The differential output voltage OUT+ and OUT- is proportional to the main
IGBT phase current and can be externally converted to a single-ended signal by using an operational
amplifier.
