Overview
Description
The CN028-BIDIRDPSEVZ evaluation kit combines the CN028-BIDIRDPSPFCEVZ and CN028-BIDIRDPSDABEVZ boards to demonstrate high-performance bidirectional power conversion. Our CN028-BIDIRDPSPFCEVZ board delivers 3.6kW of AC/DC power using digital control and a totem-pole bridgeless PFC topology, enabling efficient continuous conduction mode operation at high switching frequencies. The CN028-BIDIRDPSDABEVZ board provides 3.6kW of isolated DC/DC conversion with a dual active bridge and advanced triple phase shift control, achieving soft switching, high efficiency, wide voltage regulation, and seamless bidirectional operation.
Features
- CN028-BIDIRDPSDABEVZ (3.6kW bidirectional isolated DC/DC)
