The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost and improved performance in powering state-of-the-art systems.
This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the EV-INVERTERHDBT enablement kit.
The EV-INVERTERHDBT kit contents include:
Note: When operating in a lab environment, make sure all high-voltage connections are secured, and the operator is properly protected from any shock hazard.

In order to use the EV-INVERTERHDBT IGBT enablement kit, customers must provide some additional hardware beyond what is contained in the kit. The amount of additional hardware required depends on whether the customer is using the Vepco PIM or is designing their own EV Inverter platform.
All customers (Vepco PIM users included) must provide the following items:
In addition to the required equipment listed above, customers who choose to design their own inverter platform must also provide the following:

The EV-INVERTERHDBT is a reference design IGBT enablement kit containing NXP content to develop an EV three-phase traction motor inverter. The system is designed to drive an IGBT with equivalent P6 footprint HybridPACK pin out and form factor. This kit includes two PCBs, 3-phase bus bars and basic configuration and enablement software. PCB board layout, schematics and Gerber files are available on an NXP secured website. To gain access to the secured site, use the registration code provided in the hardware shipment.
Customers must obtain the additional inverter components. These components include the IGBT module, link capacitor, bus bar, cooling plate, mounting hardware, etc. Customers can select their own components when designing and assembling a complete PIM to work with the NXP EV-CONTROLEVMHD and EV-POWEREVBHDBT boards. As an alternative, a complete pre-assembled reference PIM platform is available through NXP partner Vepco Technologies.

The procedure for assembling an inverter platform that uses the EV-INVERTERHDBT IGBT enablement kit differs depending on whether the Vepco PIM is employed or whether the customer has chosen to configure their own platform. The following sections cover both procedures.
The assembly instructions in this section apply to users who have elected to use the Vepco PIM.
The following hardware is required for this procedure:

The non-insulated high voltages that are present when operating this product, constitute a risk of electric shock, personal injury, death and/ or ignition of fire. This product is intended for evaluation purposes only. It shall be operated in a designated test area by personnel qualified according to local requirements and labor laws to work with non- insulated mains voltages and high-voltage circuits. This product shall never be operated unattended.

The following assembly instructions apply to users who have elected to design their own inverter control platform instead of using the Vepco module. The instructions cover electrical connectivity only. The customer is responsible for assembling the physical structures (bus bar, mounting hardware, etc.) required to support and connect the components in their platform.
