EVAL6393FB
Low voltage full-bridge demonstration board based on the L6393
advanced high voltage gate driver
Data brief
Features
~150 W drive capability (50 V - 3.0 A
r.m.s.
)
Very low area occupation, all devices and
power switches in SMD package (no heatsink)
Fast-decay or slow-decay on-board constant
off-time peak current control
PWM voltage mode control with overcurrent
protection possible via external logic signals
Driver supply voltage on-board generation
directly from BUS voltage
Carefully optimized layout
Description
The EVAL6393FB demonstrates how to use two
L6393 drivers to drive a single-phase load
through a full-bridge topology. This allows both
the direction and the value of the current flowing
into the load to be controlled. Typical loads, which
can be effectively driven by using this topology,
are single-phase BLDC motors, fans and HID
lamps. Thanks to the integrated features of the
L6393, the board has a very small footprint and
an optimized layout, and can be simply run by
applying the BUS voltage and a direction signal.

Parameter Value
Supply voltage range (VS)

1. Minimum VS voltage restriction is due to biasing current of the Zener diode used to generate V
cc
. This limit
can be decreased by changing R29 value or by opening JP3 and providing an externally generated V
cc
through connector J1.
2. Maximum VS voltage limit can be increased up to 580 V by replacing the power switches and bulk
capacitor C15 with components with adequate voltage ratings. Resistor R29 should be removed and an
externally generated V
cc
should be provided through connector J1.
