Powerex, Inc., 173 Pavilion Lane, Youngwood, Pennsylvania 15697-18 (724) 925-7272 eneral Description The -1 is a hybrid integrated circuit designed to provide gate drive for high power IBT modules. This circuit has been optimized for use with Powerex NF-Series and A-Series IBT modules. However, the output characteristics are compatible with most MOS gated power devices. The features a compact single-in-line package design. The upright mounting minimizes required printed circuit board space to allow efficient and flexible layout. The converts logic level control signals into fully isolated 15V/-8V gate drive with up to 5A of peak drive current. ontrol signal isolation is provided by an integrated high speed opto-coupler. Short circuit protection is provided by means of destauration detection. Short ircuit Protection Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a typical desaturation detector. In this circuit, a high voltage fast recovery diode () is connected to the IBT s collector to monitor the collector to emitter voltage. When the IBT is in the off state, V is high and is reverse biased. With off the () input of the comparator is pulled up to the positive gate drive power supply (V) which is normally 15V. When the IBT turns on, the comparators () input is pulled down by to the IBT s V (sat). The (-) input of the comparator is supplied with a fixed voltage (V TRIP ). During a normal on-state condition the comparator s () input will be less than V TRIP and it s output will be low. During a normal off-state condition the comparator s () input will be larger than INPUT DLAY t trip AND AT DRIV OMPAR SHUTDOWN V V trip IBT MODUL Figure 1. Desaturation Detector V TRIP and it s output will be high. If the IBT turns on into a short circuit, the high current will cause the IBT s collector-emitter voltage to rise above V TRIP even though the gate of the IBT is being driven on. This abnormal presence of high V when the IBT is supposed to be on is often called desaturation. Desaturation can be detected by a logical AND of the driver s input signal and the comparator output. When the output of the AND goes high a short circuit is indicated. The output of the AND can be used to command the IBT to shut down in order to protect it from the short circuit. A delay (t TRIP ) must be provided after the comparator output to allow for the normal turn on time of the IBT. The ttrip delay is set so that the IBTs Vce has enough time to fall below V TRIP during normal turn on switching. If t TRIP is set too short, erroneous desaturation detection will occur. The maximum allowable t TRIP delay is limited by the IBT s short circuit withstanding capability. In typical applications using Powerex IBT modules the recommended limit is 1μs. Operation of the Desaturation Detector The Powerex incorporates short circuit protection using desaturation detection as described above. A flow chart for the logical operation of the short-circuit protection is shown in Figure 2. When a desaturation is detected the hybrid gate driver performs a soft shut down of the IBT and starts a timed (t timer ) 1.5ms lock out. The soft turn-off helps to limit the transient voltage that may be generated while interrupting the large short circuit current flowing in the IBT. During the lock out the driver pulls Pin 8 low to indicate the fault status. Normal operation of the driver will resume after the lockout time has expired and the control input signal returns to its off state. Adjustment of Trip Time The has a default short-circuit detection time delay (t TRIP ) of approximately 2.5μs. This will prevent erroneous detection of short-circuit conditions as long as the series gate resistance ( ) is near the minimum recommended value for the module being used. The 2.5μs delay is appropriate for most applications so adjustment will not be necessary. However, in some low frequency applications it may be desirable to use a larger series gate resistor to slow the switching of the IBT, reduce noise, and limit turn-off transient voltages. When R is increased, the switching delay time of the IBT will also increase. If the delay Rev. 4/7

To avoid this condition the has provisions for extending the t TRIP delay by connecting a capacitor ( TRIP ) between Pin 2 and V (Pins 4). The effect of adding TRIP on trip time is shown in Figure 3. If t TRIP is extended care must be exercised not to exceed the short-circuit withstanding capability of the IBT module. Normally this will be satisfied for Powerex NF and A-Series IBT modules as long as the total shut-down time does not exceed 1μs.
