The 2SP0430T2XX gate driver is available in two different versions for 1200 V and 1700 V PrimePACK 3+ IGBT modules supporting different isolation classes: 5000 VAC (50 Hz/1min) and 9150 VAC (50 Hz/1min). All models are conformally coated to protect the plug-and-play boards against harsh environments. Peak output gate current is ±30 A and regulated gate voltage is +15 V/-10 V, delivering up to 4 W output power per channel (at 85°C ambient). Propagation delay is less than 100 ns, with a jitter variation of ±4 ns.
Comments Michael Hornkamp, senior director of marketing for gate-driver products at Power Integrations: “Our SCALE-2 technology reduces system BOM and improves reliability by including all key protection features and the DC-DC converter within the driver unit. DAAC ensures that units are optimally protected in case of over-current and during short-circuit turn-off.”
Hornkamp continues: “The new 2SP0430T2xx gate driver is a first in the industrial market as it includes a variant for 1700 V PrimePACK IGBT modules that meets PD3 requirements for creepage and clearance distances and is able to operate in 3-level applications with a grounded DC-link. This makes devices very easy to use, reducing engineers’ development challenges and decreasing time-to-market.”
The gate drivers are available now, priced at $162 each in 100-piece quantities. Technical information is available from the Power Integrations website at https://gate-driver.power.com/products/scale-2-plug-and-play-drivers/2sp0430/.
