About the GateDriver PCB

GateDriver is an open source PCB design by OpenVVVF, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 license. It is a 6-layer board measuring 260 × 45 mm, with 182 components from 21 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the NCV57100DWR2G and BTS462TATMA1. By type, the board carries 94 capacitors, 32 resistors, 18 diodes, 16 test points, 8 ICs and 4 connectors.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

Open-source high-power 3-phase VSI with independent safety coprocessor, fully isolated gate drives, and node-based codegen configuration tools. Firmware, RTE, and telemetry live in OpenVVVF/RTE.

Our current in-progress build photos for size 2 are below, thanks again to our sponsors for helping make this possible

An open-source, high-power voltage-source inverter (VSI) for 3-phase AC drives. The design centres on a dual-MCU control board with an independent safety coprocessor, fully isolated gate drives and sensing, dual isolated CAN buses, and a control stack configurable through node-based codegen tools.
