Footnot es to the K ey D a ta
1) The transceivers required on the host controller side are not supplied with the gate driver. It is
recommended to use the same types as used in the gate driver. For product information refer
to www.IGBT-Driver.com/go/fiberoptics
2) The recommended transmitter current at the host controller is 20mA. A higher current may increase
jitter or delay at turn-off.
3) The typical transmitter current at the gate driver is 18mA. In case of supply undervoltage, the
minimum transmitter current at the gate driver is 12mA: this is suitable for adequate plastic optical
fibers with a length of more than 10 meters.
4) This refers to the manufacturer ordering number, see www.igbt-driver.com/go/ext_erni. The
customer-side connector as well as cables with different lengths can be supplied by CONCEPT. Refer
to the “Description & Application Manual for 1SP0635 SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers” for more information.
5) This refers to the manufacturer ordering number, see www.igbt-driver.com/go/ext_erni. These
connectors are to be used to connect 1SP0635x2Mx (master) or 1SP0635D2Sx (slave) to
1SP0635D2Sx (sla ve) if par allel connection of IGBT modules is required . Cables with differe nt lengths

can be supplied by CONCEPT. Refer to the “Description & Application Manual for 1SP0635 SCALE-2
IGBT Drivers” for more info rmation.
6) If the specified value is ex c eed ed, this indicates a drive r overload. It sho uld be n oted that the driver i s
not protected against overload.
7) The given power can only be fully exploited without slaves 1SP0635D2Sx (no parallel connection of
IGBT modules). If t he specified value is excee ded, this indicates a driver overload. It should be noted
that the driver is not protected against overload. From 70°C to 85°C, the maxim um perm i s s i ble output
power can be linearly interpolated from the given data.
8) The given power can be fully exploited with slaves 1SP0635D2Sx (parallel connection of IGBT
modules). If the specified value is exceeded, this indicates a driver overload. It should be noted that
the driver is not protected against overload. From 70°C to 85°C, the maximum permissible output
power can be line arly inter polat ed from the g iven dat a. Note that the DC/DC co nverter on the master
1SP0635x2Mx is dimensi oned to supply the maste r as well as three conne cted sla ves 1SP 06 35D2 Sx at
full load.
9) The gate current is limited by the gate resistors located on the driver.
10) HiPot testing (= dielectric testing) must generally be restricted to suitable components. This gate
driver is suited for HiPot te sting. Never theless, it is strongly recommended to limi t the testing time to
1s slots. Excessive HiPot test ing m ay lead to insulation degradation.
11) This limit is due to a ctive cl amping und er swi tching co nditions . Refe r to the “ Description & Ap plication
Manual for 1SP0635 SCA LE-2 IGBT D rivers”.
12) Due to the Dynamic Active Advanced Clamping Function (DA2C) implemented on the driver, the DC-
link voltage ca n be increased in the off-state condition (e.g. after emergency shut-down). This value is
only vali d when t he IGBTs are in the o ff stat e (not sw itching) . The time during which the voltage can
be applied should be limited to short periods (< 60 seconds). Refer to the “Description & Application
Manual for 1SP0635 SCA LE-2 IGBT D rivers”.
13) The maximum dynamic voltage between auxiliary emitters of parallel-connected drivers due to
asymmetrical operation at turn-on and turn-off must be limited to the given value.
14) Maximum allowed rate of change of auxiliary emitter voltage of parallel connected drivers. This
specification guarantees that the drive information will be transferred reliably even with high rate of
change of auxiliary emitter voltages (asymmetrical operation).
15) Dy namic v olta ges between auxiliary emitters of para llel connecte d drivers at turn-on and t urn -off le ad
to equa lizing curr ents over the X2 or X3 bus. The pe ak and RMS values of the re sulting cur rent mus t
be limited to the given value.
16) Undervoltage monitoring of the secondary-side supply voltage (Viso to Vee and Vee to COM which
correspond with the approximate turn-on and turn-off gate-emitter voltages). If the corresponding
voltage drops below this limit on 1SP063 5x2Mx (ma sters) , all para lleled IGBTs (master a nd slaves) are
switched off and a fa ult is transmitt ed to the status output. If the corresp onding voltage drops below
this limit on 1SP0635D2Sx (slaves), the corresponding IGBT is switched off. A fault will be generated
by the gate-monitoring function on the master which will turn off all paralleled IGBTs after the
corresponding delay.
17) The mean value VGE,mean of all gate voltages (master and all slaves) is filtered and compared to the
given values at turn-on and turn-off. If the specified values are exceeded (V GE,mean<VGE,on,min at turn-
on resp. VGE,mean>VGE,off,max at turn-off) after the given filter delay, the driver turns off all parallel-
connected IGBTs and a fault is transmitted to the status output.
18) A dynamic Vce protection is implemented on the driver. The maximum allowed Vce voltage at turn-on
is dynamically adjusted in order to better fit the IGBT characteristics at turn-on. At the end of the
turn-on process, the given static value applies.
19) The r esulting pulse widt h of the dire ct output of the ga te drive unit for short-ci rcuit t ype I (excl uding
the delay of the gate resistors) is the sum of the response time plus the dela y to IGBT turn-off.
20) The turn-off event of the IGBT is delayed by the specified time after the response time.
21) Including the delay of the external fiber-optic links (cable length: 1m). Measured from the transition
of the t urn-on or turn-o ff command at the optical transmitter on the host controller side to the direct
output of the gate drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate resistors).
22) Output rise and fall times are measured between 10% and 90% of the nominal output swing. The
values are given for the driver side of the gate resistors with 2Ω/1uF load. The time constant of the
1SP0635x2xx-5SNA1500E250300
Prelim i nary Dat a Shee t
www.IGBT-Driver.com Page 7
output load in conjunction with the present gate resistors leads to an additional delay at their load
side.
23) Delay of external fiber-optic links. Measured from the driver secondary side (ASIC output) to the
optical receiver on the host controller.
24) Measured on the host side. The fault status on the secondary side is automatically reset after the
specified time.
25) Including the delay of the external fiber-optic links. Measured from the transition of the turn-on or
turn-off command at the optical transmitter on the host controller side to the transition of the
acknowledge signal at the optica l receiver on the host controller sid e.
26) The gate resistors can be leaded or surface mounted. CONCEPT reserves the right to determine which
type will be used. Typically, higher quantit ies will be produced with SM D resistors a nd small quantities
with leaded resistors.
27) The driver secondary side voltage is split into two distinct voltages on the driver. The first one is the
turn-on voltage which is regulated at about 15V. The difference between the total secondary side
voltage and the turn-on voltage is the turn-off voltage which is not regulated and mainly dependent
on the driver input voltage VDC and the DC/DC conve rter power.
28) Partial discharge measureme nt is performed in accordance with IEC 60270.
29) Clearance and creepage distances are designed according to IE C 6007 7-1. Refer to the “De scr iptio n &
Applic ation M anual for 1SP0635 SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers” for more information.
30) The fault status is set as long as the gate monitoring fault is present. The given value applies if the
driver goes from the “off state” to the “on state” and the gate-emitter voltage of one or more parallel
connected drivers does not turn on. If the driver goes from the “on state” to the “off state” and the
gate-emitter voltage of one or more parallel connected drivers does not turn off, the fault status is
applied as long as the ga te monitoring fault is prese nt.
