Introduction
The Evaluation Driver Board F3L030E07-F-W2_EVAL for 3-Level Easy2B modules shown in Figure 1
was developed to support customers during their first steps designing applications with Easy2B
3-Level modules. For more details about the 3-Level topology, please refer to [1].
The board is available from Infineon in small quantities. The properties of this part are described in the
datasheet chapter of this document, whereas the remaining paragraphs provide information intended
to enable the customer to copy, modify and qualify the design for production, according to their own
specific requirements.
The design of the F3L030E07-F-W2_EVAL was performed with respect to the environmental
conditions described in this document. The requirements of lead-free reflow soldering have been
considered during component selection. The design was tested as described in this document, but not
qualified regarding manufacturing, lifetime or over the full ambient operating conditions.
The boards provided by Infineon are subjected to functional testing only.
Due to their purpose Evaluation Boards are not subjected to the same procedures regarding Returned
Material Analysis (RMA), Process Change Notification (PCN) and Product Discontinuation (PD) as
regular products.
See Legal Disclaimer and Warnings for further restrictions on Infineons warranty and liability.

Main features
The Evaluation Board F3L030E07-F-W2_EVAL as shown in Figure 1 contains four coreless
transformers ICs 1ED020I12-F from Infineon and one Infineon Easy2B 3-Level module as one phase
leg. Figure 2 shows the functional groups of the evaluation board.
The evaluation board provides the following main features as described in Figure 2:
- Functional isolation between high and low side utilizing coreless transformer technology.
- Short circuit protection and under voltage lock out.
- Active clamping protection for high and low-side IGBTs directly connected to the DC- bus bar.
- Active Miller Clamp.
- IGBT DCB temperature monitoring by NTC.
- Integrated and fully isolated power supply for each IGBT driver.
- +5V supply for the logic.
