General TI High Voltage Evaluation User Safety Guidelines
WARNING
Always follow TI’s set-up 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 VRMS/75 VDC must be
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.

CAUTION
High-voltage levels are present on the evaluation module whenever it is
energized. Proper precautions must be taken when working with the EVM.
1.1.1
FAULT
The FAULT pin of LMG3410-HB-EVM is active low when an under voltage lockout on an auxiliary voltage
rail, over temperature or overcurrent even occurs on the LMG3410. The FAULT signal for both LMG3410
devices are level shifted to AGND, where they are logic AND connected to the FAULT pin.
CAUTION
Please do NOT ignore FAULT signal when using LMG3410-HB-EVM. Turn off
both top and bottom devices, if any device is generating FAULT signal. The
device under fault condition may operate in undesired 3rd-quadrant mode and
may be over heated and damaged due to the high source-drain voltage drop if
the other device is still switching.
1.1.2
Power Pins
While there are some power stage bypass capacitors on the LMG3410-HB-EVM from VDC to PGND to
minimize voltage overshoot during switching, more bulk capacitance is required to hold up the DC voltage
during operation. It is highly recommended to minimize, and ideally prevent, any overlap and parasitic
capacitance from VSW to VDC, PGND and any logic pins. The two grounds PGND and AGND are
functionally isolated from each other on the LMG3410-HB-EVM.

Bootstrap Mode
The LMG3410-HB-EVM card can be modified to operate in bootstrap mode, where the 12V bias voltage is
used to power both LMG3410 devices. This can be achieved by removing U3, U4 and R2, and placing a
20 Ω resistor on R1, a 0 Ω resistor on R18 and a 600V SOD-123 diode on D1, such as Micro Commercial
Components UFM15PL-TP. Do NOT power up the LMG3410-HB-EVM when R1, R2, R18, D1, U3 and U4
are all populated.
1.1.4
Heatsink
Heatsink is installed to help with heat dissipation of the LMG3410. Exposed copper pads that are attached
to the die attach pad (DAP) of both the high and low side devices are provided for a low thermal
impedance point to a heatsink. The two copper pads have high voltage potential difference between them
so an electrically isolative thermal interface material (TIM) is required. Bergquist BP100-0.005-00-1112
double sided adhesive tape TIM and Cool Innovations 3-101004U heatsink are recommended.
Figure 2. Front and Back Side Photos of LMG3410-HB-EVM
1.2
LMG34XX-BB-EVM
To allow for quick operation the LMG34XX-BB-EVM is available to interface with the LMG3410-HB-EVM.
This mother board is designed to operate the LMG3410 as a synchronous open loop buck converter. Easy
probe locations are provided for measurement of logic and power stage voltages.
1.2.1
Bias Supply
The motherboard requires one 12V bias supply. A linear drop off regulator steps the voltage down to a
tightly regulated 5V for logic and auxiliary power of the LMG3410 when the LMG3410-HB-EVM is
configured in isolated power mode. When the LMG3410-HB-EVM is configured in bootstrap mode the 12V
input is used to power the two LMG3410 devices.
1.2.2
Logic PWM Input
The LMG34XX-BB-EVM supports a single PWM, with complimentary signal and corresponding dead time
generated on board. A 0 V to 5 V magnitude input square wave is required. The complementary PWM
generation circuit creates 50 ns of dead time between both transitions of the PWM signals.

1.2.3
Fault Protection
There is an option to disable PWM input to the FET card in the event of a fault signal from the LMG3410HB-EVM. When the FAULT Protect jumper is placed in the EN mode PWM is disabled when either
LMG3410 has an active fault. This disable is not latching, so when the fault clears PWM immediately
resumes. If FAULT Protect mode is not desired it can be disabled by placing the jumper in the DIS
position. The FAULT LED will still illuminate when either LMG3410 has an active fault, regardless of the
position of FAULT Protect jumper.
1.3
Typical Applications
The LMG3410-HB-EVM is designed for use in AC/DC, DC/DC and DC/AC applications
• Totem-Pole PFC converters
• Phase-Shifted Full Bridge or LLC Converter
• Buck converter such as the LMG34XX-BB-EVM
1.4

List of Test Points
Key test points on this EVM have been designed for use with oscilloscope probes with short ground
springs. Using the short ground spring instead of the alligator ground lead will minimize measurement
error and produce a cleaner signal with the fast switching GaN devices used on this EVM. The data
shown in this user guide has been obtained using such a measurement method.

Test Procedure
4.1
Setup
The following procedure is recommended to set up the LMG34XX-BB-EVM with the LMG3410-HB-EVM:
• Connect LMG3410-HB-EVM to LMG34XX-BB-EVM
• Connect oscilloscope or multimeter probes to desired test points as shown in A or G
• Connect the 12 V bias supply, load to the output, and input supply to the input
• Connect the function generator to either the BNC connector PWM input at C or 100 mil header
connector input at pin 6 (PWM) and pin 5 (GND) at B.
• Enable an external fan to direct airflow across the heatsink attached to the LMG3410-HB-EVM
4.2
Startup and Operating Procedure
The following procedure is recommended to enable the LMG34XX-BB-EVM with the LMG3410-HB-EVM:
1. Power up the 12 V bias supply. Ensure the top right green “Aux Enable” LED is illuminated.
2. Enable PWM on the function generator
3. Power up high voltage input supply. Ensure the red “HV Enable” LED is illuminated when the input
supply is above 20 V.
WARNING
Do NOT turn on device at absolute maximum voltage. It is
recommended to start at voltages at or below 480 V, and then
increase the input voltage slowly while monitoring VSW to insure the
peak voltage does not exceed the absolute maximum rating of 600
V.
4.3
Shutdown Procedure
1. Turn off input supply then PWM. Wait until red “HV Enable” LED turns off.
2. Disable 12 V bias supply
4.4
Additional Operation Notes
•
14
Fault protection on the LMG34XX-BB-EVM is not latching, so if a fault clears and the LMG34XX-BBEVM is still operational PWM will resume.
