Compact, high-performance, plug-and-play dual-channel IGBT driver based on SCALE-2 technology for individual and parallel-connected modules in 2-level, 3-level and multilevel converter topologies

Abstract

The SCALE-2 plug-and-play driver 2SP0320x2Ax-12 is a compact dual-channel intelligent gate driver designed for 1200V PrimePACKTM IGBT modules. The driver features an electrical interface (2SP0320T) or a fiber-optic interface (2SP0320V and 2SP0320S) with a built-in DC/DC power supply.

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 paragraph on “Gate Resistor Assembly” for the recommended gate resistors.

Both supply voltages VDC and VCC should be applied in parallel.

The gate current is limited by the gate resistors located on the driver.

If the specified value is exceeded, this indicates a driver overload. It should be noted that the driver is not protected against overload. From 70°C to 85°C, the maximum permissible output power can be linearly interpolated from the given data.

This limit is due to active clamping. Refer to “Description & Application Manual for 2SP0320T SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers” (electrical interface) or “Description & Application Manual for 2SP0320V and 2SP0320S SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers” (fiber-optic interface).

Undervoltage monitoring of the primary-side supply voltage (VCC to GND). If the voltage drops below this limit, a fault is transmitted to the corresponding output(s) (2SP0320T/2SP0320V/2SP0320S) and the IGBTs are switched off (only 2SP0320T).

The input impedance can be modified to values < 18 kΩ (customer-specific solution). Turn-on and turn-off threshold values can be increased (customer-specific solution).

The resulting pulse width of the direct output of the gate drive unit for short-circuit type I (excluding the delay of the gate resistors) is the sum of response time plus delay to IGBT turn-off. The turn-off event of the IGBT is delayed by the specified time after the response time.

Factory set value. The blocking time can be reduced with an external resistor. Refer to “Description & Application Manual for 2SP0320T SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers”.

Measured from the transition of the turn-on or turn-off command at the driver input to direct output of the gate drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate resistors).

Including the delay of the external fiber-optic links. Measured from the transition of the turn-on or turn-off command at the optical transmitter on the host controller side to the direct output of the gate drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate resistors).

Refers to the direct output of the gate drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate resistors). Transmission delay of the fault state from the secondary side to the primary status outputs.

Measured on the host side. The fault status on the secondary side is automatically reset after the specified time.

Including the delay of the external fiber-optic links. Measured from the transition of the turn-on or turn-off command at the optical transmitter on the host controller side to the transition of the acknowledge signal at the optical receiver on the host controller side.

The gate resistors are not assembled on this IGBT gate driver. They must be assembled by the user according to the paragraph on “Gate Resistor Assembly”.

A dV/dt feedback can optionally be implemented in order to reduce the rate of rise of the collector emitter voltage of the IGBTs at turn-off (customer-specific solution).

HiPot testing (= dielectric testing) must generally be restricted to suitable components. This gate driver is suited for HiPot testing. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to limit the testing time to 1s slots as stipulated by EN 50178. Excessive HiPot testing at voltages much higher than 850VAC(eff) may lead to insulation degradation. No degradation has been observed over 1min. testing at 3800VAC(eff). Every production sample shipped to customers has undergone 100% testing at the given value or higher (<5100Veff) for 1s.

This specification guarantees that the drive information will be transferred reliably even at a high DC-link voltage and with ultra-fast switching operations.

The transceivers required on the host controller side are not supplied with the gate driver. It is recommended to use the same types as used in the gate driver. For product information refer to www.IGBT-Driver.com/go/fiberoptics

The recommended transmitter current at the host controller is 20mA. A higher current may increase jitter or delay at turn-off.

The typical transmitter current at the gate driver is 18mA. In case of supply undervoltage, the minimum transmitter current at the gate driver is 12mA: this is suitable for adequate plastic optical fibers with a length of more than 10 meters.

If the specified value is exceeded, this indicates a driver overload. It should be noted that the driver is not protected against overload.

25) Delay of external fiber-optic links. Measured from the driver secondary side (ASIC output) to the

optical receiver on the host controller.

26) Undervoltage monitoring of the secondary-side supply voltage (Visox to Veex and Veex to COMx

which correspond with the approximate turn-on and turn-off gate-emitter voltages). If the corresponding voltage drops below this limit, the IGBT is switched off and a fault is transmitted to the corresponding output.

27) Partial discharge measurement is performed in accordance with IEC 60270 and isolation coordination

specified in EN 50178. The partial discharge extinction voltage between primary and either secondary side is coordinated for safe isolation to EN 50178.

28) Jitter measurements are performed with input signals INx switching between 0V and 15V referred to

GND, with a corresponding rise time and fall time of 8ns.

29) The maximum switching frequency is not defined, as it depends on the IGBT module used. Please

consult the corresponding driver data sheet for more information.
