Recommended Interface Circuitry for the Primary Side Connector Both ground pins must be connected together with low parasitic inductance. A common ground plane or wide tracks are strongly recommended. The connecting distance between ground pins must be kept at a minimum. Recommended user interface of (primary side) Description of Primary Side Interface General The primary side interface of the driver is very simple and easy to use. The driver primary side is equipped with a 10-pin interface connector with the following terminals: - 2 x power-supply terminals - 2 x drive signal inputs - 2 x status outputs (fault returns) - 1 x mode selection input (half-bridge mode / direct mode) - 1 x input to set the blocking time All inputs and outputs are ESD-protected. VCC terminal The driver has one VCC terminal on the interface connector to supply the primary side electronics with 15V. VDC terminal www.firstack.com 5 / 9 sales01@firstack.com
The driver has one VDC terminal on the interface connector to supply the DC-DC converters for the secondary sides. VDC should be supplied with 15V. It is recommended to connect the VCC and VDC terminals to a common 15V power supply. In this case the driver limits the inrush current at startup and no external current limitation of the voltage source for VDC is needed. MOD (mode selection) The MOD input allows the operating mode to be selected with a resistor connected to GND. Direct mode If the MOD input is connected to GND, direct mode is selected. In this mode, there is no interdependence between the two channels. Input IN1 directly influences channel 1 while IN2 influences channel 2. High level at an input (IN1 or IN2) always results in turn-on of the corresponding IGBT. In a half-bridge topology, this mode should be selected only when the dead times are generated by the control circuitry so that each IGBT receives its own drive signal. Caution: Synchronous or overlapping timing of both switches of a half-bridge basically shorts the DC-link. Half-bridge mode If the MOD input is connected to GND with a resistor 71k<R m<181k, half-bridge mode is selected. In this mode, the inputs IN1 and IN2 have the following functions: IN1 is the drive signal input while IN2 acts as the enable input. It is recommended to place a capacitor C m =22nF in parallel to R m in order to reduce the deviation between the dead times at the rising and falling edges of IN1 respectively. When input IN2 is low level, both channels are blocked. If it goes high, both channels are enabled and follow the signal on the input IN1. At the transition of IN1 from low to high, channel 2 turns off immediately and channel 1 turns on after a dead time T d. www.firstack.com 6 / 9 sales01@firstack.com
FO1,FO2 (channel drive inputs,e.g. PWM) The outputs FOx have open-drain transistors. When no fault condition is detected, the outputs have high impedance. When a fault condition (primary side supply undervoltage, secondary side supply undervoltage, IGBT short-circuit or overcurrent) is detected, the corresponding status output FOx goes to low (connected to GND). Both FOx outputs can be connected together to provide a common fault signal. However, it is recommended to evaluate the status signals individually to allow fast and precise fault diagnosis. How the status information is processed A fault on the secondary side (detection of short-circuit of IGBT module or supply undervoltage) is transmitted to the corresponding FOx output immediately. The FOx output is automatically reset(returning to a high impedance state) after a blocking time t b has elapsed.

terminals (x stands for the number of the drive channel 1 or 2): - 1 x DC/DC output terminal VISOx - 1 x emitter terminal VEx - 1 x reference terminal REFx for overcurrent or short-circuit protection - 1x collector sense terminal VCEx - 1x active clamping terminal ACLx - 1x turn-on gate terminals GHx - 1x turn-off gate terminals GLx All inputs and outputs are ESD-protected. Reference terminal (REFx) The reference terminal REFx allows the threshold to be set for short-circuit and/or overcurrent protection with a resistor placed between REFx and VEx. A constant current of about 150µA is provided at pin REFx. Collector sense (VCEx) The collector sense must be connected to the IGBT collector or MOSFET drain with the circuit in order to detect an IGBT or MOSFET overcurrent or short-circuit. It is recommended to dimension the resistor value of R vcex in order to get a current of about 0.6-1mA flowing through R vcex (e.g. 1.2-1.8MΩ for V DC-LINK=1200V). The current through R vcex must not exceed 1mA. It is possible to use a high-voltage resistor as well as series connected resistor. In any case, the min. creepage distance related to the application must be considered. The diode D 6x must be explicitly avoided. must have a very low leakage current and a blocking voltage of >40V (e.g. BAS416).Schottky diodes Active clamping (ACLx) Active clamping is a technique designed to partially turn on the power semiconductor as soon as the collectoremitter (drain-source) voltage exceeds a predefined threshold. The power semiconductor is then kept in linear operation. Gate turn-on (GHx) and turn-off (GLx) terminals www.firstack.com 8 / 9 sales01@firstack.com
These terminals allow the turn-on (GHx) and turn-off (GLx) gate resistors to be connected to the gate of the power semiconductor. The GHx and GLx pins are available as separated terminals in order to set the turn-on and turn-off resistors independently without the use of an additional diode. Note however that it is not advisable to operate the power semiconductors within a half-bridge with a driver in the event of a low supply voltage. Otherwise, a high rate of increase of V CE may cause partial turn-on of these IGBTs. www.firstack.com 9 / 9 sales01@firstack.com
