Dual-channel gate drivers fit IGBT modules
Scale-iFlex XLT plug-and-play dual-channel gate drivers from Power Integrations operate IGBT modules with blocking voltages of up to 2.3 kV. These ready-to-use drivers work with LV100 (Mitsubishi), XHP 2 (Infineon), and equivalent IGBT modules used in wind, energy storage, and solar renewable energy installations.
Each driver board features an electrical interface, a built-in DC/DC power supply, and negative temperature coefficient (NTC) readout for isolated temperature measurement of the power module. According to the manufacturer, NTC data reporting increases reliability and module utilization by as much as 30%. It also reduces hardware complexity, eliminating multiple cables, connectors, and additional isolation circuitry.
The dual-channel gate drivers support three IGBT voltage classes: 1200 V, 1700 V, and 2300 V. They have a maximum switching frequency of 25 kHz and operate over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Output power is 1 W per channel at maximum ambient temperature. Protection features include short circuit, soft shutdown, and undervoltage lockout.
Scale-iFlex XLT gate drivers are now available for sampling.
