Hello everyone, i have a question, i used iMOTION™ Software Tools MCEDesigner and it generate a file that uploaded to the MCU. The question, is this file only configuration file uplodaed to the MCU to successfully run the program or it is a fully SW program hex code.
And if the answer is the first imagination, i need to take a look on software code it self where can i find it.
Thanks!
Show LessHi Infineon friends.
Hello!
Does OptiMOS 5 offer a power cycling curve? (IPT015N10N5)?
Is there a way to determine that the number of cycles corresponding to ∆T has exceeded the part's capacity if it breaks down early in the life test?
Thank you!
Best Regards.
Jay.

Show LessI am designing the BEC power of an ESC for a drone application.
Design parameters are as follows:
Input voltage: 3S-6S LiPO (11,1V-22,2V)
BEC (switch- mode): 5V-8V Adjustable (Step: 0.1V), 7A/18A Cont./Peak.
Does Infineon have a solution for BEC power? If so, please suggest me a solution that meets the above parameters.
Show LessHi guys, I would like to know if Infineon has a type of power converter that could convert wall power into high frequency, high power 3 phase AC power to generate a magnetic field in a DIY linear induction motor

Show LessI built a high-voltage low-power DCDC prototype with symmetrical half-bridge topology using the IMBF170R650M1. Due to the extremely small Id (only 30mA), only the capacitive turn-on loss caused by Coss charging and discharging was taken into account when calculating the loss of the IMBF170R650M1. However, it was found in the experiment that the actual loss value is much larger than the calculated value according to the datasheet.
Please guide me to calculate the loss of IMBF170R650M1 under experimental conditions (100kHz, DC voltage Vds=1000V, drain current Id=30mA, symmetric half bridge topology).

Show LessHi! I'm looking at the eval board for GS-EVB-AUD-AMP2-GS. Are there layout files for this board? Maybe even gerbers? I'm working on a project that incorporates some of these circuits and the layout is very important. I need some examples.
Thanks.
Show LessI had a problem with my student project. In the given circuit I designed a Half Bridge circuit which controlled by 75kHz PWM with MCU. I give complimentary PWM for driving the gate driver. In the start up (potentiometer is at starting position) my code generate PWM as low side is 3.3V and complimentary (high side) is 0V. With increasement of potentiometer duty cycle increase with deadtime about 100ns. But when I give energy to circuit both MOSFETs are initially burn and fuse is blows. I guess MOSFETs are getting conductive at same time but I am sure about control input is stable. I suspect the problem is input filter or Rvs resistor. I don't want to try circuit without being sure because of limited components. What could be the problem?

Hi
I have the EVAL-IHW65R62EDS06J, and I am wondering about the HIN and LIN signals. After googling for some time it seems that it should be some sort of PWM signal, but I do not understand them fully. Are HIN and LIN supposed to be PWM signals, but opposite of each other? Should they be generated by a separate chip, or can they be calculated in software and be provided by two GPIO's?
Some more information on the HIN and LIN signals in general would be appreciated as well.

Hi Infineon
When MCU(-TC397) stop feed watch dog, ROT will high->low,and ss1 will low after 5us.
In my design I need SS1 go low earlier than ROT(1us is enough) If any ways can adjust ROT and SS1 timing?
Can I use RC circuit make ROT delay 1us? Is there any bad effect?
