Advantages of Advanced Active Clamping

Power semiconductor manufacturers are offering IGBT modules with ever greater power densities. The limit is represented by the maximum power loss that can be dissipated; optimization criteria are the packaging technology as well as the conduction and switching losses of the semiconductor chips. The high current density of the modules together with high switching speeds place increased demands on the driving circuits, both in normal switching operation and under overload conditions. Advanced Active Clamping switching technology offers a solution showing how modern high-power IGBTs can be better utilized.

Intelligent Paralleling

A new approach to paralleling IGBT modules with individual drivers.

A gate driver for PrimePACKTM IGBTs designed for high item numbers allows optimal driving of individual and parallel-connected modules. This makes it possible for the first time to construct converter series with both single modules and parallel-connected IGBTs practically with no additional development effort.

Speed and Precision in Gate Drives

High-power gate driver controls MOSFET switches up to 500kHz

Modern power semiconductors allow switching schemes that would have been unthinkable even ten years ago. Conventional MOSFETs, COOLMOS devices and prospective compound semiconductor switches are constantly pushing the limits of power density and switching frequency. Only a dedicated gate driver allows the full potential of today’s most advanced power switches to be exploited.
