1 Important notice

NXP provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:

This evaluation kit is intended for use of ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR

EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. It is provided as a sample IC pre-soldered to a printed

circuit board to make it easier to access inputs, outputs, and supply terminals. This

evaluation board may be used with any development system or other source of I/O

signals by simply connecting it to the host MCU or computer board via off-the-shelf

cables. This evaluation board is not a Reference Design and is not intended to represent

a final design recommendation for any particular application. Final device in an

application will be heavily dependent on proper printed circuit board layout and heat

sinking design as well as attention to supply filtering, transient suppression, and I/O

signal quality.

The goods provided may not be complete in terms of required design, marketing, and

or manufacturing related protective considerations, including product safety measures

typically found in the end product incorporating the goods. Due to the open construction

of the product, it is the user's responsibility to take any and all appropriate precautions

with regard to electrostatic discharge. In order to minimize risks associated with the

customers applications, adequate design and operating safeguards must be provided

by the customer to minimize inherent or procedural hazards. For any safety concerns,

contact NXP sales and technical support services.

4 Getting to know the hardware

4.1 Overview

The FRDMGD3160XM3EVM is a half-bridge evaluation kit populated with two GD3160

single channel gate drive devices. The kit includes the Freedom KL25Z microcontroller

hardware for interfacing a PC installed with FlexGUI software for communication to the

serial peripheral interface (SPI) registers on the GD3160 gate drive devices in either

daisy chain or standalone configuration.

The KITGD3160TREVB translator board is used to translate 3.3 V signals to 5.0 V

signals between the MCU and GD3160 gate drivers. The evaluation kit can be connected

to a compatible insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) or SiC module for half-bridge

evaluations and applications development.

4.2 Board features
