The 1SC2060P is the latest, highest power member of Power Integrations driver core family. The high-performance SCALE-2 driver core targets high-power single-channel IGBT and MOSFET applications such as induction heating, resonant and high-frequency power conversion as well as parallel gate driving of large modules.  The use of planar transformer technology enables significant improvements in power density, noise immunity, and reliability.  Equipped with the latest SCALE-2 chipset, the gate driver supports switching at up to 500 kHz with best-in-class efficiency. The 1SC2060P effectively comprises a complete single-channel IGBT driver core, fully-equipped with an isolated DC/DC converter, short-circuit protection, Advanced Active Clamping, and supply-voltage monitoring.  With its extremely compact outline of 44 mm x 74 mm and a total height of just 7 mm, the 1SC2060P delivers high power density in an attractive form factor. The highly-integrated SCALE-2 chipset reduces component count by 80% compared to conventional solutions, thus significantly increasing reliability and reducing costs.  An embedded-paralleling capability allows easy inverter design covering higher power ratings.  IGBT Mode
Merging 60 A gate current with 20 W output power makes the 1SC2060P the ultimate high-power driver platform for both single and parallel gate driving of large IGBT modules. In the dedicated IGBT mode, the driver provides a gate voltage swing of +15 V / –10 V. The turn-on voltage is regulated to maintain a stable 15 V regardless of the output power level.  Superior EMC performance allows reliable operation even in industry’s harshest environments. The 1SC2060P is suited for high-power IGBTs with blocking voltages up to 1700 V.  MOSFET Mode
With its high output power, very short delay, and extremely small jitter, the 1SC2060P driver core has been specifically designed for high-power and ultra-fast switching, fully exploiting the capabilities of state-of-the-art MOS power devices.  Benefits in Fast-Switching Applications
Fast switching not only requires high drive power and maximum frequency but also relies on tight control over crucial parameters such as the driver’s delay time and the associated jitter. A fast driver with a short delay introduces significantly less phase lag into the power system’s control loop. Less phase lag is of great importance for maintaining the stability of the control loop, thus allowing the benefits of fast switching to be fully exploited. The 1SC2060P shares SCALE-2 high performance figures for fast signal transmission featuring a delay time of less than 80ns and extremely low jitter of less than ±1ns. It is this unique combination of high output power and stable precision that makes the 1SC2060P a highly-suitable choice for optimized systems, where tight control over timing margins is mandatory.

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.
