onsemi SECO-GDBB-GEVB Gate Driver Ecosystem Baseboard

onsemi SECO-GDBB-GEVB Gate Driver Plug-and-Play Ecosystem Baseboard allows for the comparison of the dynamic performance and capabilities of different gate drivers and technologies. The suite facilitates the selection of an optimized gate resistance (Rg) for the end application.

The onsemi SECO-GDBB-GEVB Baseboard supports up to six different daughter-cards with gate drivers, feeding them with a standard PWM control signal and providing equal working conditions for a reliable comparison between gate drivers. The Baseboard features an adjustable switching frequency (10kHz to 200kHz) and a duty cycle, with fine-tuning and extended frequency range achievable through a BNC connector. The Baseboard provides multiple test points across the board for voltage and current measurement.

The SECO-GDBB-GEVB Gate Driver Plug-and-Play Ecosystem Baseboard is used to evaluate, control, and configure different gate drivers such as NCP51705, FOD8334, or NCV57000.
