2SP0320 Series

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

SCALE-2 Technology

Electrical or Fiber-Optic Interface

Embedded Paralleling Capability

Short Description

2SP0320 is the ultimate driver platform for PrimePACK^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 2SP0320 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 mount 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. All drivers are available with electrical and fiber-optic interfaces.

Driving Parallel-Connected IGBTs

The driver allows direct parallel connection of any number of PrimePACK 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.

Interface Options

The 2SP0320 driver series is available with one electrical and various fiber-optic interfaces.

Electrical Interface: 2SP0320T2xx

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.

Fiber-Optic Interfaces: 2SP0320V2xx and 2SP0320S2xx

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

■ 2SP0320V2xx is equipped with versatile fiber-optic links
■ 2SP0320S2xx is equipped with ST fiber-optic links
