Self-Oscillating Half Bridge Module

This is an automotive-grade self-oscillation 50% duty cycle half-bridge module built using the AUIR2085S chip from Infineon. The project consists of 2 x N-channel MOSFETs, and the module provides a primary side control solution to enable Half-Bridge DC-bus converters. The module is a self-oscillating half-bridge driver with 50% duty cycle ideally suited for 10V – 15V half-bridge DC-bus converters.   The board is also suitable for push-pull converters. Each channel frequency is equal to f_OSC, which can be set by selecting RT (R2+PR1) & CT-(C7), Dead-time can be controlled through proper selection of C_T range from 50ns to 200ns. Internal soft-start increases the pulse width during power-up and maintains pulse width matching for the high and low outputs throughout the start-up cycle. Typically, the soft-start duty cycle varies beginning from 5-10% ramping up to about 50% over 1000 cycles.  The AUIR2085S initiates a soft start at power up and after every overcurrent condition. Undervoltage lockout prevents operation if V_CC is less than 7.5V.
