Application and Handling Instructions

Please provide for static discharge protection during handling. As long as the hybrid driver is not completely assembled,
the input terminals have to be short-circuited. Persons working with devices have to wear a grounded bracelet. Any
synthetic floor coverings must not be statically chargeable. Even during transportation the input terminals have to be
short-circuited using, for example, conductive rubber. Worktables have to be grounded. The same safety requirements
apply to MOSFET- and IGBT-modules.
Any parasitic inductances within the DC-link have to be minimised. Over-voltages may be absorbed by C- or RCDsnubber networks between main terminals for PLUS and MINUS of the power module.
When first operating a newly developed circuit, SEMIKRON recommends to apply low collector voltage and load current
in the beginning and to increase these values gradually, observing the turn-off behaviour of the free-wheeling diode and
the turn-off voltage spikes generated across the IGBT. An oscillographic control will be necessary. Additionally, the case
temperature of the module has to be monitored. When the circuit works correctly under rated operation conditions,
short-circuit testing may be done, starting again with low collector voltage.
It is important to feed any errors back to the control circuit and to switch off the device immediately in failure events.
Repeated turn-on of the IGBT into a short circuit with a high frequency may destroy the device.
The inputs of the hybrid driver are sensitive to over-voltage. Voltages higher than VS +0,3V or below -0,3V may destroy
these inputs. Therefore, control signal over-voltages exceeding the above values have to be avoided.
The connecting leads between hybrid driver and the power module should be as short as possible (max. 20cm), the
driver leads should be twisted.

General Description
®
®
The Board 63 GB SKYPER 42 is an adaptor board for the IGBT module SKiM 63 (spring contact). The board is paralleling
three channels so the SKiM module can be used in half bridge configuration. The board can be customized allowing
adaptation and optimization to the used IGBT module.
The switching characteristic of the IGBT can be influenced through user settings, e.g. changing turn-on and turn-off speed
by variation of RGon and RGoff. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the monitoring level and blanking time for the DSCP (see
®
Technical Explanations SKYPER 42).
Please note:
This technical explanation is based on the Technical Explanations for SKYPER® 32PRO. Please read the Technical Explanations
SKYPER® 42PRO before using the Adaptor Board.

Mounting Notes
Driver Core Mounting
1. Soldering of components (e.g. RGon, RGoff, etc.) on adaptor board.
2. Insert driver core into the box connector on adaptor board.
3. The connecting leads between board and power module should be as short as possible (max. 20cm), the leads should be twisted.
The connection between driver core and adaptor board should be
mechanical reinforced by using support posts. The posts have to be
spaced between driver core and adaptor board.
Product information of suitable support posts and distributor contact
information is available at e.g. http://www.richco-inc.com.
