1SP0630
Compact single-channel intelligent plug-and-play gate driver optimized for 130 x 140 mm single IGBT High Power (IHM) modules
The Plug-and-Play 1SP0630 gate drivers are compact single-channel intelligent gate drivers optimized for 130 x 140 mm single IGBT High Power (IHM) modules, which are used in railway and other long-life applications. The compact SCALE-2 gate drivers match the footprint of the smaller IHM single-channel IGBT module formats with 1200 A to 1400 A output current and 3300 V IGBT blocking voltage.
These gate drivers meet IEC 61373 specifications for shock and vibration and IEC 60068-2-xx environmental requirements. Units are also EMC-qualified according to EN 50121-3-2 and IEC 6100-4-x. With standard conformal coating, the new gate drivers can also undergo burn-in on request for added reliability. Improved connectors increase interconnection security and facilitate fast release without tooling. Fiber-optic interfaces are provided.
All 1SP0630 gate drivers feature Power Integrations’ Dynamic Advanced Active Clamping, which allows an extended DC-link voltage range in IGBT "off" state for up to 60 seconds in railway and regenerating applications. Also included is short-circuit and under-voltage lock-out protection, along with failure status output.
A complete solution is comprised of a "main" driver ("V2M1" or "S2M1"), one or more "peripheral" drivers ("D2S1"), and an external power supply (ISO6125R-33). Cables (RLC-IMS-61-050-0, and RLC-PSI-41-050-0) connect the drivers, power supply, and external control circuitry.

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.
