Circuit board simplifies evaluation of MOSFET gate driver

IXYS Corporation has announced the DVRFD615X2 high speed MOSFET demonstration board. The DVRFD615X2 is a general purpose circuit board designed to simplify the evaluation of the IXRFD615X2 dual high speed MOSFET gate driver, and to provide a building block for power circuit development.

The IXRFD615X2 gate driver is factory installed on the demonstration board and is fully tested. The board configuration allows mounting of either the DE-150 or DE-275 series high speed MOSFETs.

The board design allows both the driver and MOSFETs to be attached to a heat sink, and in doing so allows the DVRFD615X2 to be used as a ground referenced, low-side power switch for both single-ended and push-pull topologies. The board is easy to use, simply provide two input signals and a DC power supply to operate.

Features:

  • Choose either the DE-150 or DE-275 series MOSFETs
  • Easy to use, requiring only two input signals and supply voltage
  • Fully tested and operational
  • Optimised layout to reduce parasitic inductance
  • Small overall board size: 2″ by 4.5″ board 

Applications:

  • valuation of the IXRFD615X2 MOSFET gate driver
  • Low-side ground referenced power switch
  • Building block for single-ended and push-pull topologies

“The DVRFD615X2 provides a convenient, easy to use demonstration board to simplify the evaluation of a circuit design using the IXRFD615X2 dual high speed gate driver and DE-Series MOSFETs,” commented Stephen Krausse, General Manager of IXYS Colorado. “With optimised circuit board layout and the low inductance packaging of the driver and MOSFETs, the DVRFD615X2 offers a fully assembled, off-the-shelf power switch with an excellent combination of power, size and performance once the selected MOSFETs are installed.”
