About this manual

This document details the use of the demoboard for the TD350 Advanced IGBT/MOSFET driver. It describes the board's layout, electrical schematic, and bill of materials, explaining how the board is configured with an optocoupler input and specific gate drive resistors. The note covers key features such as the Active Miller Clamp, 2-level turn-off, and desaturation protection implemented on the board.

Frequently asked questions

How can the demoboard be modified to use a pulse transformer instead of an optocoupler?

The demoboard can be modified by implementing the optional components R2, R3, R4 and C8.

What should be done with the DESAT pin if the desaturation feature is not needed?

Connect DESAT to GND by shorting together pin 1 and pin 3 on the demoboard output connector.
