2SP0115T is a very low-cost, ultra-compact driver series for 17mm as EconoDUALTM IGBT modules. As a member CONCEPT’s plug-and-play driver family, it satisfies industry’s requirements for optimized electrical performance and noise immunity. The highly integrated SCALE-2 chipset reduces the component count by 80% compared to conventional solutions, thus significantly increasing reliability and reducing cost. The use of SCALE-2 technology also means that 2SP0115T devices are complete two-channel IGBT drivers equipped with DC/DC converters, short-circuit protection, Advanced Active Clamping and supply-voltage monitoring. Users need only solder them onto the corresponding IGBT module. The system can then be put into immediate operation with no further development or matching engineering effort. This enables short design cycles to be realised without compromising overall system efficiency. The embedded paralleling capability allows simple inverter design for higher power ratings. Specifically adapted drivers are available for all module types. The DIC20 electrical interface is very simple and easy to use. Driving Parallel-Connected IGBTs
The driver allows direct parallel connection of any number of 17mm modules with individual drivers. This new, pioneering concept makes it practical for the first time to build a converter series with discrete modules as well as parallel-connected IGBTs without any additional development effort. Electrical Interface DIC20
The 2SP0115T driver series is equipped with DIC20 electrical interface and is fully compatible with the PrimePACKTM driver series 2SP0320T. The DIC20 electrical interface is very simple and easy to use. The driver has the following terminals:

Power supply and GND terminals
2 x drive signal inputs
2 x status outputs (failure returns)
1 x mode selection (half-bridge mode / direct mode)
1 x input to set the blocking time

All inputs are ESD-protected and all digital inputs have Schmitt-trigger characteristics. For more details, check the product documentation. A version with extended operating temperature range of -40°C...85°C (2SP0115T2B0) can also be supplied.

Power Integrations offers highly integrated IGBT drivers. Based on decades of experience, ASICs have been developed for the driver and monitoring functions, which together with the inductive transformers form the core of the drivers. Extensive application design support is offered.

Highly integrated driver components: cheaper than discrete in-house development

MOSFETs and IGBTs are convenient to drive with low power, unlike bipolar power semiconductors. However, high gate capacitances must be recharged and, in the case of stacked IGBTs for HVDC (high-voltage DC transmission), large potential differences must also be bridged. In addition, there are protection functions for the power semiconductors and a negative bias voltage for IGBTs to be blocked so that they cannot switch through and fail as a result of transients in bridge circuits.

In view of the high voltages, some know-how is required here. For example, special regulations on insulation clearances, clearances and creepage distances, and partial discharge resistance must be observed, and these must also be checked with expensive measuring equipment. Likewise, the degradation of the board substrate and the migration of metal ions in it must be taken into account, which can otherwise lead to premature short circuits and total failures.

Instead of launching costly in-house developments, it makes sense here to use proven, safe driver modules designed using in-house developed, monolithic highly integrated semiconductor components as well as proprietary planar transformers, such as those offered by Power Integrations under the name SCALE (which stands for Scaleable, Compact, All-purpose, Low-cost and Easy-to-use). Power Integrations, previously CONCEPT, has been developing IGBT driver solutions for over 30 years and therefore has unrivaled experience with this topic.

The SCALE devices are driven with standard logic levels from 3.3 to 15 V and are very economical in the IGBT field: they are cheaper and more reliable than conventional discrete circuit designs, especially when it comes to driving high-voltage IGBTs. Thus HY-LINE Power Components offers you everything around inverters and high performance DC/DC converters from one source.

Power Integrations offers both general modules, the SCALE Driver Cores, and modules adapted to specific IGBT modules, the SCALE Plug-and-Play Drivers. In addition, there are the monolithically integrated SCALE iDriver chips.

Our products fit into the most diverse fields of application. If there is no suitable product for you, please ask us, we will also be able to offer you an ideal solution for your field of application.
