Cool-ORing^® Series
PI2007-EVAL1 Evaluation Board
featuring the Cool-ORing PI2007
Active ORing controller.
The PI2007-EVAL1 Evaluation Board is intended to
acquaint the user with the benefits and features of the
Cool-ORing® PI2007 Active ORing controller. It is not
designed to be installed in end-use equipment.
Please read this document before setting up the
PI2007-EVAL1 Evaluation Board and refer to the PI2007
product datasheet for device specifications, functional
description and characteristics.
Introduction
The PI2007-EVAL1 allows the user to test the basic
principles and operational characteristics of an Active
ORing function in a redundant power architecture, while
also experiencing the benefits and value of the PI2007
solution versus conventional Active ORing solutions. The
PI2007-EVAL1 evaluation board is configured to receive
two independent power source inputs, per a typical
redundant power architecture, through two Active ORing
channels that are combined to form a redundant power
output. Each channel contains a PI2007 controller and a
100V N-channel power MOSFET. The MOSFET foot print
can take an SO-8 or Power SO-8 MOSFET package. Each
channel is capable of up to 6A.
The PI2007-EVAL1 evaluation board is designed with
optimized PCB layout and component placement to
represent a realistic high density final design for an
During operation, the power devices and surrounding
structures can be operated safely at high temperatures.
 Remove power and use caution when connecting and
disconnecting test probes and interface lines to avoid
inadvertent short circuits and contact with hot
surfaces.
 When testing electronic products always use approved
safety glasses. Follow good laboratory practice and
procedure.
embedded high side Active ORing solution for 48V Bus (36V
to 75V) applications requiring up to 6 A. This evaluation
board is intended as an easy and simple way to test the
electrical and thermal performance of the PI2007 Active
ORing controller.
Both dynamic and steady state testing of the PI2007 can be
completed on the PI2007-EVAL1 evaluation board, in
addition to using the key features of the product. Dynamic
testing can be completed under a variety of system level
fault conditions to check for response time to faults.
This document provides basic instructions for initial start-up
and configuration of the evaluation board. Further
information on the functionality of the PI2007 can be found
in the PI2007 product data sheet.
