Infineon EiceDRIVER™ 2EDN Gate Driver Evaluation Kits

Introduction

Infineon’s EiceDRIVER™ 2EDN evaluation kits provide a practical development platform for testing dual-channel, non-isolated low-side gate driver ICs. Available as KIT_DRIVER_2EDN7534B, KIT_DRIVER_2EDN7534U, and KIT_DRIVER_2EDN7534F, these boards help engineers evaluate gate-drive behavior and integrate 2EDN drivers into high-speed power-switching designs.

Part Description

The evaluation kits are designed around Infineon EiceDRIVER™ 2EDN dual-channel gate driver devices. These drivers are intended to control two low-side MOSFETs, making them useful for power stages that require independent or synchronized switching channels.

Each kit provides a test platform for examining driver performance in a representative circuit environment. Engineers can use the boards to assess switching behavior, gate-drive signal quality, timing, and compatibility with selected MOSFETs before moving to a custom PCB design.

The kits support development work involving low-side MOSFET gate driving in switched-mode power supplies and other power-conversion systems. Their dual-channel architecture is particularly helpful where two power switches must be driven in coordinated configurations, such as synchronous rectification stages or dual-switch converter topologies.
