IR22141SS Demo Board
(Shown with optional IGBT Power Module)
The IRMD22141SS demo board is an evaluation board for IR22141SS gate driver. With three connected
IR22141SS (see the device datasheet), IRMD22141SS is designed to drive 3-phase power modules with
pin-out compatible to ECONO2-6PACK. The board can drive AC or Brushless motors using power modules
with up to 50A output current. The board is a flexible solution for different applications and can be
customized providing place for external components. The control signals are 3.3V CMOS compatible; three-
phase shunt resistor (with sensing pins) can be placed for current loop control; power module short circuits
are managed synchronizing the IGBT turn off in a local network. Board layout reduces the noise coupling
between high and low voltage signals and EM emissions.

The IR22141SS is a half bridge gate driver suited for power switching applications. The high side driver
can float up to 1200V. The IR22141SS have a high gate driving capability (2A source and 3A sink) with
a low quiescent current. The device is designed to manage all the half-bridge faults by turning off
smoothly the desaturated transistor through the dedicated soft shut down pin preventing over-voltages
and reducing EM emissions. In a multi-phase system the drivers communicate using a dedicated local
network (SY_FLT and FAULT/SD signals) to properly manage phase-to-phase short circuits. The
system controller may force shutdown or read device fault state through the 3.3 V compatible CMOS I/O
pin (FAULT/SD). To improve the signal immunity from DC-bus noise, the control and power ground use
dedicated pins enabling low-side emitter current sensing as well. Undervoltage conditions in floating and
low voltage circuits are managed independently.
For further technical information see the IR2214/IR22141 datasheet at http://www.irf.com.

SixPack™ standard pin out.

Input logical signals HIN1, LIN1, HIN2, LIN2, HIN3, LIN3 and FLT_CLR:
These logic inputs are 3.3 V compatible CMOS I/O port. The logic signals are active high with internal
pull-down resistor of 10 kOhm. When both HIN and LIN of the same phase are active at the same time
an internal anti-shot trough circuit turns off the output drivers. HIN turns on the high side IGBT while LIN
the low side.

FLT_CLR is active high and it is used to reset the fault state of all devices (see also the Fault
management section and the IR22141SS datasheet).
This is an input/output logic signal, 3.3 V compatible CMOS I/O port. The logic signal is active low, tied
to connector VCC with a 10 k pull-up resistor. As an input, the signal shuts down (SD) all the drivers;
as an output, it reports the power module fault (IGBT desaturation detection) or the VCC undervoltage
(see also IR22141SS datasheet for more information).
On board a red LED (DL2) indicates when the signal is active; Figure 2a shows the connection.
This is the supply pin for all the devices. On board a green LED (DL1) indicates the supply power on;
Figure 2b shows the connection.
