Power Integrations launched its latest SCALE-2+ dual IGBT driver core, the 2SC0435T2G1-17, with a footprint of only 57,2 x 51,6 mm and a height of just 20 mm.
The new SCALE-2+ technology enables soft shutdown (SSD) to be implemented in the event of a short circuit without requiring additional components. This is particularly beneficial in applications with low stray inductance where full advanced active clamping (AAC) may not be required. If desired, the core can also provide full AAC.
Designed to drive all standard 1200 V and 1700 V IGBTs, the device features an embedded paralleling capability to simplify inverter design at high power ratings; multi-level topologies are also supported. It combines a complete two-channel driver core with all components required for driving, such as a galvanically isolated DC-DC converter, short-circuit protection, AAC or SSD and under-voltage lockout on both the primary and secondary sides.
An EMC-robust design enables safe and reliable operation in even harsh industrial environments. Each of the two output channels is electrically isolated from the primary side and the secondary channel. An output current of ±35 A peak and 4 W drive power at 85°C is available per channel and the turn-on voltage is regulated to maintain a stable +15 V regardless of the output power level.
The 2SC0435T2G1-17 core features a connector pin length of 3,1 mm, making it suitable for PCB thickness of 2 mm.
