1SP0635 Series

Single Channel SCALE-2 Plug-and-Play Driver Supports Direct Paralleling

SCALE-2 Technology

IGBTs from 1200V to 3300V / 800A to 3600A

Direct Paralleling Supported by Master/Slave Drivers

Short Description

The new 1SP0635 SCALE-2 Plug-and-Play drivers are specifically designed for the reliable and safe driving of 130x140mm and 190x140mm high-voltage and high-power IGBT modules from the 1200V to the 3300V voltage class.

They are optimally suited to high-reliability applications in railway technology and industry.

The driver concept relies on a master/slave principle that allows the safe operation of parallel connected IGBT modules. The master (1SP0635V or 1SP0635S) can be used as a stand-alone driver without slave to drive a single IGBT module or it can be used with 1 to 2 slaves 1SP0635D to drive up to 3 parallel connected IGBT modules.

The master is equipped with a fiber-optic interface and global fault management. In master/slave configurations, the slaves are connected to the master by a bus cable which distributes the common command signal and the secondary-side supply voltages for the DC/DC converter.

The 1SP0635 drivers are based on CONCEPT's highly integrated SCALE-2 chipset. Thanks to SCALE-2 technology, the new 1SP0635 family comprises highly integrated, high-performance, complete and extremely compact single-channel IGBT drivers.

The SCALE-2 chipset reduces the component count by 80% compared to conventional solutions, thus significantly increasing reliability and reducing costs.

The drivers are equipped with Dynamic Advanced Active Clamping (DA²C), short-circuit protection, built-in DC/DC converters, regulated turn-on gate driving voltage and supply-voltage monitoring.

Perfectly matched driver versions are available for all mechanically compatible IGBT modules. The plug-and-play capability of the driver allows immediate operation after mounting. The user needs invest no effort in designing or adjusting it to a specific application.

Fiber-Optic Interface Options

Fiber-optic links are used for the electrical insulation of the command and status-feedback signals. Two versions of fiber-optic interfaces are available:

■ 1SP0635V is equipped with versatile fiber-optic links
■ 1SP0635S is equipped with ST fiber-optic links
