3.1.1 Evaluation Setup

This section describes the EVM hardware and outlines the procedure to set up for evaluation. Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 show the top and bottom views of the LMG3100EVM-089, respectively.

The EVM can be mounted with a heat sink (S05MZZ37, 20 mm x 35 mm x 10 mm) to improve the thermal performance. The two exposed thermal pads have a high-voltage potential difference between them, therefore an electrically isolated thermal interface material (TIM) is used. TIM of GR80A-0H-50GY (thermal conductivity of 8 W/mK and thickness of 0.5 mm) has been placed between the device and the heat sink. Please make sure the TIM is making contact with both the heat sink and LMG3100 devices when heat sink is installed.

WARNING: High voltages that can cause injury exist on this evaluation module (EVM). Please verify all safety procedures are followed when working on this EVM. Never leave a powered EVM unattended.
