PWR-TPI6020 - Two-Level Three-Phase Inverter Module 

48 V/20 A Two-Level Three-Phase Inverter Module 

The PWR-TPI6020 module is a modular two-level three-phase inverter with individual gate driver control. This module is fully compatible with Speedgoat FPGA technologies, such as the IO324 or IO397 I/O modules, and can easily be connected to any real-time target machine. 

The module is optimized for use as a three-phase inverter. Its modular design, however, also makes it suitable as a full bridge or a high-side or low-side driver.  

The PWR-TPI6020 enables you to control each single gate driver and monitor the phase current and bus voltage of your closed-loop applications. 

When used with FPGA I/O modules, the PWR-TPI6020 is ideal for closed-loop applications using MATLAB® and Simulink® with closed-loop rates of up to 20 kHz and faster using HDL Coder™. 

Key Features

  • Three half-bridge phases with individual gate control:
    • 12 V DC to 48 V DC nominal DC bus voltage
    • Up to 20 A continuous RMS current
    • Up to 50 kHz switching frequency 
  • Continuous monitoring of voltages, currents, and temperature
  • Onboard protection for overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, and deadband
