Driver

General Description

The EVAL-LTC7066-AZ evaluation circuit is a half-bridge driver that drives two N-channel MOSFETs. The two 5V logic-compatible PWM inputs independently drive each of the two N-channel gate outputs to each MOSFET. The eval kit has several unpopulated PCB pads to help facilitate the user in customizing the board for their application.

The LTC7066 driver has a powerful 0.8Ω pull-down and 1.5Ω pull-up MOSFET drivers driving two 150V N-channel MOSFETs. The gate drivers on the LTC7066 are capable of driving MOSFETs with different ground references; however, this eval kit has these ground references committed.

Quick Start Procedure

The EVAL-LTC7063-AZ can be evaluated without connecting any additional components or a load. However, the user may find adding two load resistors, as shown in Figure 1, provides a better means for evaluating. Alternatively, the user can configure their own application circuit. Test with a resistor divider as a load:

  1. Connect two 100Ω power resistors to the SW node, as shown in Figure 1.

  2. Apply VIN-POWER supply.

  3. Apply VIN-LOGIC supply.

  4. Apply two 5V, 1kHz square-wave signals 180° apart with a 48% duty cycle, as shown below. Limiting the duty cycle to 48% and staggering them 180° apart will ensure no shoot-through.
    Quick Start Procedure

  5. Monitor the BG, TG, and SW pins with a scope.

  6. See Figure 2 for expected results with:
    a. VIN-POWER = 40V
    b. VIN-LOGIC = 10V
