2SP0115T

Dual-Channel SCALE-2 Plug-and-Play Driver for EconoDUAL IGBT Modules

SCALE-2 Technology

Electrical Interface

Embedded Paralleling Capability

Short Description

2SP0115T is the ultimate low-cost ultra-compact driver platform for EconoDUAL^TM IGBT modules. As a member of the CONCEPT plug-and-play driver family, it satisfies the 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 costs.

Thanks to SCALE-2 technology, the 2SP0115T family comprises complete and extremely compact 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 effort. Shortest design cycles are achieved without compromising overall system efficiency in any way.

The embedded paralleling capability allows easy inverter design covering 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 EconoDUAL modules with individual drivers. This new pioneering concept for simple and reliable parallel connection makes it practical for the first time to set up converter series with discrete modules as well as parallel-connected IGBTs without any additional development effort.

Direct parallel connection: How does it work?

Electrical Interface DIC20

The 2SP0115T driver serie is equipped with DIC20 electrical interface, fully compatible to PrimePACK^TMdriver serie 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.

Data Sheets

For data sheets click into tables, column "Driver type no."

Note 3: In product versions 2SP0115T2Ax-12 and 2SP0115T2Ax-17, the turn-on and turn-off gate resistors of both channels are not assembled in order to provide maximum flexibility. They must be assembled by the user before start of operation. Please refer to the corresponding data sheet for recommended gate resistors.It will be updated with new adaptations regularly.
