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. 1. Work Area Safety: (a) Keep work area clean and orderly. (b) Qualified observer(s) must be present anytime circuits are energized. (c) 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. (d) 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. (e) Use a stable and non-conductive work surface. (f) Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No freehand testing whenever possible. 2. Electrical Safety: (a) De-energize the TI HV EVM and all its inputs, outputs, and electrical loads before performing any electrical or other diagnostic measurements. Revalidate that TI HV EVM power has been safely deenergized. (b) 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. (c) Once EVM readiness is complete, energize the EVM as intended. 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. 3. Personal Safety: (a) Wear personal protective equipment e.g. latex gloves and/or safety glasses with side shields or protect EVM in an adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks from accidental touch. 4. Limitation for Safe Use: (a) EVMs are not to be used as all or part of a production unit. 2 SLUUB97A – March 2015 – Revised January 2016 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2015–2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Introduction www.ti.com User's Guide SLUUB97A – March 2015 – Revised January 2016 Digitally Controlled LLC Resonant Half-Bridge DC-to-DC Converter 0.1 Introduction The UCD3138ALLCEVM150 EVM helps evaluate the UCD3138A 64-pin digital control device in an off-line power converter application and then to aid in its design. The EVM is a standalone LLC resonant halfbridge DC-to-DC power converter. The EVM is used together with its control card, the UCD3138ACCEVM149 EVM. The UCD3138ARGC is placed on the UCD3138ACCEVM149 EVM. The UCD3138ALLCEVM150 and UCD3138ACCEVM149 devices can be used as delivered without additional work, from either hardware or firmware, to evaluate an LLC resonant half-bridge DC-to-DC converter. This EVM combination allows for some of its design parameters to be returned using a GUI based tool, called Texas Instruments Fusion Digital Power Designer. It is also possible to load custom firmware with user’s own definition and development. The two EVMs included are the UCD3138ALLCEVM150 and the UCD3138ACCEVM149. This user’s guide provides basic evaluation instruction from a viewpoint of system operation in a standalone LLC resonant half-bridge DC-to-DC power converter. WARNING • • • • • • High voltages are present on this evaluation module during operation and for a while even after power off. This module should only be tested by skilled personnel in a controlled laboratory environment. An isolated DC voltage source meeting IEC61010 reinforced insulation standards is recommended for evaluating this EVM. High temperature exceeding 60°C may be found during EVM operation and for a while even after power off. This EVM’s purpose is to facilitate the evaluation of digital control in an LLC using the UCD3138A, and cannot be tested and treated as a final product. Extreme caution should be taken to eliminate the possibility of electric shock and heat burn. Read and understand this user’s guide thoroughly before starting any physical evaluation.

Care must be taken with the alignment and orientation of the two boards, or damage may occur. Refer to Figure 0-11 for UCD3138ACCEVM149 board orientation. 5. Connect the DC voltage source to J8 (+) and J9 (-). The DC voltage source should be isolated and meet IEC61010 requirements. Set up the DC output voltage in the range specified in Table 0-1, between 350 VDC and 400 VDC; set up the DC source current limit 1.2 A. NOTE: The board has no fuse installed and relies on the external voltage source current limit for circuit protection. 6. Connect an electronic load with either constant-current mode or constant-resistance mode. The load range is from zero to 29 A. 7. Check and make sure a jumper is installed on J6. 8. It is recommended to use the switch SW1 to turn on the board output after the input voltage is applied to the board. Before applying input voltage, make sure the switch, SW1, is in the OFF position. 9. If the load does not have a current or a power display, a current meter or low ohmic shunt and DMM is needed between the load and the board for current measurements. 10. Connect a volt-meter across the output connector and set the volt-meter scale 0 V to 15 V on its voltage, DC. 11. Turn on the DC voltage source output, flip SW1 to ON and vary the load. Record output voltage and current measurements. 0.8.2 Equipment Shutdown 1. Shut down the DC voltage source. 2. Shut down the electronic load.

TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications. In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms. No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use. Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
