1200 V Dual-Channel Gate-Driver Core From Power Integrations Eliminates Opto-Couplers
- Smallest IGBT gate-driver for 90 kW-500 kW inverters
With a footprint of 53.2 x 31 mm and a profile of just 13 mm, the 2SC0115TA0-12 gate-driver core is the most compact industrial unit of its type available. The highly integrated SCALE-2+ chipset uses about 85% fewer components than competing products and includes short-circuit protection by Vce-sat monitoring and independent supply-voltage monitoring from both the primary and secondary side. The new gate-driver core includes Soft Shut Down (SSD) protection for applications with low stray-inductance. For more demanding environments the 2SC0115TA0-12 supports full Advanced Active Clamping (AAC) to control the IGBT voltage overshoot during turn-off.
Each of the two output channels is electrically isolated from the primary side and the other secondary channel. An output current of ±15 A and 1.2 W drive power is available per channel with a gate voltage swing of +15 V to -6 V. The turn-on voltage is regulated to maintain a stable 15 V regardless of the output power level.
Comments Michael Hornkamp, senior director of marketing for high-power products at Power Integrations: “The 2SC0115TA0-12 gate-driver core is an ideal platform for 600 V and 1200 V IGBT modules in medium power applications such as general purpose drives, UPS, photovoltaic inverters and medical applications, especially those with challenging, fast-switching requirements.”
