General TI High Voltage Evaluation User Safety Guidelines
Always follow TI’s setup and application instructions, including use of all interface components within their recommended electrical rated voltage and power limits. Always use electrical safety precautions to help ensure your personal safety and the safety of those working around you. Contact TI’s Product Information Center http://support/ti./com for further information.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in personal injury, property damage, or death due to electrical shock and/or burn hazards.
The term TI HV EVM refers to an electronic device typically provided as an open-framed, unenclosed printed-circuit board assembly. It is intended strictly for use in development laboratory environments, solely for qualified professional users having training, expertise, and knowledge of electrical safety risks in development and application of high-voltage electrical circuits. Any other use and/or application are strictly prohibited by Texas Instruments. If you are not suitably qualified, you should immediately stop from further use of the HV EVM.
Work Area Safety: – Maintain a clean and orderly work area. – Qualified observer(s) must be present anytime circuits are energized. – Effective barriers and signage must be present in the area where the TI HV EVM and its interface
electronics are energized, indicating operation of accessible high voltages may be present, for the purpose of protecting inadvertent access.
– All interface circuits, power supplies, evaluation modules, instruments, meters, scopes and other
related apparatus used in a development environment exceeding 50 V
electrically located within a protected Emergency Power Off (EPO) protected power strip. – Use a stable and non-conductive work surface. – Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No
freehand testing whenever possible.
Electrical Safety: As a precautionary measure, it is always a good engineering practice to assume that the entire
EVM may have fully accessible and active high voltages.
– De-energize the TI HV EVM and all its inputs, outputs, and electrical loads before performing any
electrical or other diagnostic measurements. Confirm that TI HV EVM power has been safely de­energized.
– With the EVM confirmed de-energized, proceed with required electrical circuit configurations, wiring,
measurement equipment hook-ups and other application needs, while still assuming the EVM circuit and measuring instruments are electrically live.
– When EVM readiness is complete, energize the EVM as intended.
/75 VDC must be
RMS
WARNING: While the EVM is energized, never touch the EVM or its electrical circuits as they could be at high voltages capable of causing electrical shock hazard.

The LMG1205HBEVM is designed to evaluate the LMG1205 100-V half-bridge driver for enhancement­mode GaN FETs. The main circuit in this EVM consists of two Gallium Nitride (GaN) FETs connected in a half-bridge configuration, driven by an LMG1205.
This EVM guide describes correct operation and measurement of the EVM, as well as the EVM construction and typical performance. Additionally, setup instructions, including power up, are described to achieve DC-DC conversion at a certain regulation voltage. The EVM board is designed to accelerate the evaluation of the LMG1205.
This board is not intended to be used as a standalone product, but rather is intended for use to evaluate the switching performance of the LMG1205.
1 Description
The LMG1205HBEVM evaluation module is a small, easy-to-use power stage with an external PWM signal. The board can be configured as a buck converter, boost converter, or other converter topology using a half bridge.
Because this is an open-loop board with an external PWM signal, it is not intended for evaluation of transient response. This EVM can be used to evaluate the performance of the LMG1205 in a hard­switched converter to sample measurements such as efficiency, switching speed, and slew rate.
The EVM features an LMG1205 half-bridge driver coupled with two 100-V, 7-mΩ GaN FETs in a half­bridge configuration. The module can deliver up to 10 A of current if the application includes adequate thermal management (monitor case temperature and ensure adequate airflow is present, if required). The thermal management considerations include forced air, heat sink, and lower operating frequency to minimize the power dissipation in the module.

5.2 List of Test Points
The test points for switching voltage signals on this EVM have been designed for use with oscilloscope probes with the included spring-type ground connections (often called pigtails). Using the small pigtails instead of the ground clips will minimize measurement error and produce a cleaner signal with the fast switching GaN devices used on this EVM. Refer to Figure 4 through Figure 9 to see the intended probe usage for each of the switching signals. The switching voltage data shown in this user guide has been obtained using such a measurement method.

Test Procedure
Alternatively, two separate PWM inputs may be applied to control HI and LI independently. To apply this type of control, R3 must be removed and R5 must be populated with a 0-Ω resistor. Once these modifications have been done, the HI signal should be applied at pin 1 of J2, and the LI signal at pin 4 of J2. Note that with this control scheme, the EVM will no longer generate a dead time separating HI and LI transitions. Careful consideration must be applied to the control signals in this mode of operation to prevent a shoot-through condition.
5.4.2 Setting Dead Time
Dead times are set by the RC delays between the inverted and noninverted PWM inputs to the LMG1205 driver. The dead time typically does not require to be changed, however to evaluate impact of dead time on efficiency, you can vary the RC delay, its easy to change resistors R1 and R4 to get the appropriate dead time. Ensure that the dead time is not reduced so much that it causes a shoot-through condition.
Setting the dead time correctly will improve efficiency and prevent damage to the GaN FETs. The duration of the dead time needed depends on operating conditions: monitor this parameter over the operating range and adjust accordingly.
5.4.3 Test Point Connections
Ensure that any test point connections — both DC and high-speed probe connections — are made prior to powering up the EVM.
6 Test Procedure
This section describes different tests that can be performed using the LMG1205HBEVM in its default buck-converter configuration. Never leave a powered EVM unattended for any length of time. Also, the unit should never be handled while power is applied to it. A high-voltage power supply with overcurrent protection enabled and/or connected in series with a properly-rated use is recommended for safe operation. Ensure that the electrical characteristic table conditions are met to prevent damage to any components on this EVM.

There are very high voltages present on the EVM. Some components reach temperatures above 50°C. Precautions must be taken when handling the board.
6.1 Power-Up Procedure
1. Connect the VINbias supply to J1, the V but do not power them on yet. J4 can be left open if unloaded operation is desired.
2. If you will be performing efficiency measurements, connect multimeters or power meter across kelvin voltage sense points TP5 and TP6 for the input voltage, and across TP7 and TP10 for the output voltage.
3. Connect the function generator per Section 5.4.1. Do not enable the output(s) yet.
4. Power up the VINbias supply to J1 to between 5.5 and 10 V. The onboard LDO will provide 5 V to power internal circuitry and the gate driver. LED D3 should illuminate and you should be able to measure 5 V from TP1 to TP2.
5. Enable the output(s) of the function generator and verify that the gate signals are not overlapping. If you notice overlap, power down the board and ensure board is populated as described in
Section 5.4.2.
6. Set the current limit for the V maximum). LED D4 should illuminate.
7. If using an electronic load, enable it now and set it to the desired load current (10 A or less).
8. Perform the desired measurements.

NOTE: Moisture and other contaminants in the air may provide an environment which allows
dendrite growth under the LMG1205 driver or the GaN MOSFETs on this EVM and lead to leakage or shorting across high-voltage terminals. The standard assembly of this EVM does not have underfill material and should be used in low-contaminant conditions. An underfill material such as Loctite Hysol FP4549Si or Shin-Etsu SMC375X7 should be used in applications where the board is exposed to moisture.
