6SD106EI

LOW/MEDIUM-POWER SIX-CHANNEL SCALE DRIVER CORE

Highly approved SCALE technology

The award-winning drive circuit for IGBTs

6SD106EI for 600V to 1200V IGBTs up to 200A
6SD106EI-17 for 1700V IGBTs up to 150A

Short Description

The 6SD106EI series comprises highly approved 6-channel SCALE driver cores for IGBTs up to 1700V. Its gate current capability of ±6A is optimized for IGBTs from 50A to typically 200A. The two drive channels feature electrical isolation between the control electronics and the power section. The gate voltage is ±15V.

Each channel is equipped with a programmable Vce monitoring function for protection against short circuit and overcurrent.

The driver is equipped with the award-winning CONCEPT SCALE driver chipset and can be operated in two modes: either with two independent driver channels or as a half-bridge driver with internal dead-time generation.

The integrated electrically insulated DC/DC converter supplies a drive power of 1W per channel.

Reliability

The 6SD106EI SCALE driver has been established on the market as an industrial standard since 1999. The SCALE driver series has been tried and tested within hundreds of thousands of industrial and railway applications. The calculated MTBF according to MIL Hdbk 217F is 10 million hours at 40ºC. According to field data, the actual reliability is even higher.
