BIEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IGBT driver manufacturer CT-Concept Technologie GmbH, a Power Integrations company, has announced that 3D STEP files of all its SCALE™-2 IGBT gate drivers are now available to help designers model new systems faster and more accurately. 3D interactive models of the company’s drivers are also included in new application manuals.
SCALE™-2 IGBT gate drivers use an ASIC chipset to reduce component count and size, and increase performance, scalability and reliability. This enables designers to optimize dynamic switching performance, accuracy and functionality, providing design flexibility and reducing time-to-market for applications ranging from 150 A to 3600 A and 600 V to 6500 V. 3D STEP models are used by design engineers to identify mechanical conflicts between the driver and other parts of the system – an especially useful option in mechanically dense designs.
Comments Oliver Garcia, Director Product Development at CONCEPT: “The STEP format is widely used and allows designers to mechanically model our gate drivers accurately. Also, the new 3D interactive models enable users to view and rotate the driver on-screen so that they can get a better impression of the overall mechanical construction. These two initiatives will help our customers speed up the mechanical design process.”
STEP files and DWG files are freely available for download at www.igbt-driver.com.
