Usage Instructions

How to Use the EGS002 in a Circuit

  1. Power Supply: Connect a regulated 12V DC power supply to the VCC and GND pins.
  2. Frequency Selection: Use the FREQ pin to select the desired output frequency:
    • Connect to GND for 50 Hz.
    • Leave the pin open for 60 Hz.
  3. Feedback Inputs: Connect the VSEN and ISEN pins to the appropriate voltage and current sensing circuits for closed-loop control.
  4. PWM Outputs: Use the SPWM1 and SPWM2 pins to drive the gates of external MOSFETs or IGBTs in an H-bridge configuration.
  5. Protection Features: Ensure proper connections to the OCP and OTP pins for over-current and over-temperature protection.
  6. Shutdown Control: Use the SD pin to enable or disable the module (active high).

Important Considerations and Best Practices

  • Use proper heat sinks and cooling mechanisms for external MOSFETs or IGBTs to prevent overheating.
  • Ensure that the feedback sensing circuits (VSEN and ISEN) are properly calibrated for accurate control.
  • Avoid exceeding the maximum input voltage (12V DC) to prevent damage to the module.
  • Use decoupling capacitors near the power supply pins to reduce noise and improve stability.

Example: Connecting the EGS002 to an Arduino UNO

The EGS002 can be interfaced with an Arduino UNO for additional control and monitoring. Below is an example code snippet for generating a shutdown signal:

// Define the pin connected to the SD (Shutdown) pin of the EGS002
const int shutdownPin = 7;

void setup() {
  // Set the shutdown pin as an output
  pinMode(shutdownPin, OUTPUT);

  // Initialize the EGS002 in active mode (low signal on SD pin)
  digitalWrite(shutdownPin, LOW);
}

void loop() {
  // Example: Trigger shutdown after 10 seconds
  delay(10000); // Wait for 10 seconds
  digitalWrite(shutdownPin, HIGH); // Send high signal to SD pin to shut down the module

  // Example: Reactivate the module after 5 seconds
  delay(5000); // Wait for 5 seconds
  digitalWrite(shutdownPin, LOW); // Send low signal to SD pin to reactivate the module
}

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Common Issues and Solutions

  1. No Output Signal

    • Cause: Incorrect power supply or loose connections.
    • Solution: Verify that the VCC and GND pins are properly connected to a 12V DC power supply.
  2. Overheating of MOSFETs

    • Solution: Use appropriate heat sinks and ensure that the SPWM outputs are correctly connected to the MOSFET gates.
  3. Inconsistent Output Frequency

    • Cause: Incorrect frequency selection or unstable power supply.
    • Solution: Check the FREQ pin configuration and ensure a stable 12V DC input.
  4. Module Does Not Respond to Shutdown Signal

    • Cause: Incorrect wiring or faulty Arduino code.
    • Solution: Verify the connection between the Arduino and the SD pin. Check the Arduino code for errors.
