Introduction
1.1. ZSPM8010-KIT Open-Loop Evaluation Board Overview
The ZSPM8010-KIT single-phase open-loop evaluation board is a design platform providing
the minimum circuitry needed to characterize critical performance of the ZSPM9010, a 6x6 mm
DrMOS driver plus MOSFET multi-chip module. The scope of this user guide includes using
the ZSPM8010-KIT Evaluation Board for internal testing as a reference and for customer
support. See section 3.1 for the test equipment needed for the evaluation.
Note: The ZSPM8000-KIT Evaluation Kit is an example of an application for the ZSPM9010. It
can be used to evaluate the features of the ZSPM9010 in a closed loop configuration with the
ZSPM1000 digital single-phase PWM controller.
This document provides details of the construction of the ZSPM8010-KIT as a guide for
modifying the Evaluation Board as needed for the user's specific application.
