MC33153
Single IGBT Gate Driver
The MC33153 is specifically designed as an IGBT driver for high
power applications that include ac induction motor control, brushless
dc motor control and uninterruptable power supplies. Although
designed for driving discrete and module IGBTs, this device offers a
cost effective solution for driving power MOSFETs and Bipolar
Transistors. Device protection features include the choice of
desaturation or overcurrent sensing and undervoltage detection. These
devices are available in dual−in−line and surface mount packages.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
GATE DRIVE
Controlling Switching Times
The most important design aspect of an IGBT gate drive
is optimization of the switching characteristics. The
switching characteristics are especially important in motor
control applications in which PWM transistors are used in a
bridge configuration. In these applications, the gate drive
circuit components should be selected to optimize turn−on,
turn−off and off−state impedance. A single resistor may be
used to control both turn−on and turn−off as shown in
Figure 31. However, the resistor value selected must be a
compromise in turn−on abruptness and turn−off losses.
Using a single resistor is normally suitable only for very low
frequency PWM. An optimized gate drive output stage is
shown in Figure 32. This circuit allows turn−on and turn−off
to be optimized separately. The turn−on resistor, Ron,
provides control over the IGBT turn−on speed. In motor
control circuits, the resistor sets the turn−on di/dt that
controls how fast the free−wheel diode is cleared. The
interaction of the IGBT and free−wheeling diode determines
the turn−on dv/dt. Excessive turn−on dv/dt is a common
problem in half−bridge circuits. The turn−off resistor, Roff,
controls the turn−off speed and ensures that the IGBT
remains off under commutation stresses. Turn−off is critical
to obtain low switching losses. While IGBTs exhibit a fixed
minimum loss due to minority carrier recombination, a slow
gate drive will dominate the turn−off losses. This is
particularly true for fast IGBTs. It is also possible to turn−off
an IGBT too fast. Excessive turn−off speed will result in
large overshoot voltages. Normally, the turn−off resistor is
a small fraction of the turn−on resistor.
The MC33153 contains a bipolar totem pole output stage
that is capable of sourcing 1.0 amp and sinking 2.0 amps
peak. This output also contains a pull down resistor to ensure
that the IGBT is off whenever there is insufficient VCC to the
MC33153.
In a PWM inverter, IGBTs are used in a half−bridge
configuration. Thus, at least one device is always off. While
http://onsemi.com
8
MC33153
the IGBT is in the off−state, it will be subjected to changes
in voltage caused by the other devices. This is particularly
a problem when the opposite transistor turns on.
When the lower device is turned on, clearing the upper
diode, the turn−on dv/dt of the lower device appears across
the collector emitter of the upper device. To eliminate
shoot−through currents, it is necessary to provide a low sink
impedance to the device that is in the off−state. In most
applications the turn−off resistor can be made small enough
to hold off the device that is under commutation without
causing excessively fast turn−off speeds.
VCC
that the opto’s dv/dt capability is not exceeded. Like most
optoisolators, the HCPL4053 has an active low
open−collector output. Thus, when the LED is on, the output
will be low. The MC33153 has an inverting input pin to
interface directly with an optoisolator using a pullup
resistor. The input may also be interfaced directly to 5.0 V
CMOS logic or a microcontroller.
Optoisolator Output Fault
The MC33153 has an active high fault output. The fault
output may be easily interfaced to an optoisolator. While it
is important that all faults are properly reported, it is equally
important that no false signals are propagated. Again, a high
dv/dt optoisolator should be used.
The LED drive provides a resistor programmable current
of 10 to 20 mA when on, and provides a low impedance path
when off. An active high output, resistor, and small signal
diode provide an excellent LED driver. This circuit is shown
in Figure 33.

It is desirable to protect an IGBT from insufficient gate
voltage. IGBTs require 15 V on the gate to achieve the rated
on−voltage. At gate voltages below 13 V, the on−voltage
increases dramatically, especially at higher currents. At very
low gate voltages, below 10 V, the IGBT may operate in the
linear region and quickly overheat. Many PWM motor
drives use a bootstrap supply for the upper gate drive. The
UVLO provides protection for the IGBT in case the
bootstrap capacitor discharges.
The MC33153 will typically start up at about 12 V. The
UVLO circuit has about 1.0 V of hysteresis and will disable
the output if the supply voltage falls below about 11 V.

for Turn−On and Turn−Off
A negative bias voltage can be used to drive the IGBT into
the off−state. This is a practice carried over from bipolar
Darlington drives and is generally not required for IGBTs.
However, a negative bias will reduce the possibility of
shoot−through. The MC33153 has separate pins for VEE and
Kelvin Ground. This permits operation using a +15/−5.0 V
supply.
PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
INTERFACING WITH OPTOISOLATORS
Desaturation Protection
Isolated Input
Bipolar Power circuits have commonly used what is
known as “Desaturation Detection”. This involves
monitoring the collector voltage and turning off the device
if this voltage rises above a certain limit. A bipolar transistor
will only conduct a certain amount of current for a given
base drive. When the base is overdriven, the device is in
The MC33153 may be used with an optically isolated
input. The optoisolator can be used to provide level shifting,
and if desired, isolation from ac line voltages. An
optoisolator with a very high dv/dt capability should be
used, such as the Hewlett Packard HCPL4053. The IGBT
gate turn−on resistor should be set large enough to ensure

been cleared, the voltage will come down quickly to the
VCE(sat) of the device. Following turn−on, there is normally
considerable ringing on the collector due to the COSS
capacitance of the IGBTs and the parasitic wiring
inductance. The fault signal from the Desaturation
Comparator must be blanked sufficiently to allow the diode
to be cleared and the ringing to settle out.
The blanking function uses an NPN transistor to clamp the
comparator input when the gate input is low. When the input
is switched high, the clamp transistor will turn “off”,
allowing the internal current source to charge the blanking
capacitor. The time required for the blanking capacitor to
charge up from the on−voltage of the internal NPN transistor
to the trip voltage of the comparator is the blanking time.
If a short circuit occurs after the IGBT is turned on and
saturated, the delay time will be the time required for the
current source to charge up the blanking capacitor from the
VCE(sat) level of the IGBT to the trip voltage of the
comparator. Fault blanking can be disabled by leaving Pin 8
unconnected.
saturation. When the collector current rises above the knee,
the device pulls out of saturation. The maximum current the
device will conduct in the linear region is a function of the
base current and the dc current gain (hFE) of the transistor.
The output characteristics of an IGBT are similar to a
Bipolar device. However, the output current is a function of
gate voltage instead of current. The maximum current
depends on the gate voltage and the device type. IGBTs tend
to have a very high transconductance and a much higher
current density under a short circuit than a bipolar device.
Motor control IGBTs are designed for a lower current
density under shorted conditions and a longer short circuit
survival time.
The best method for detecting desaturation is the use of a
high voltage clamp diode and a comparator. The MC33153
has a Fault Blanking/Desaturation Comparator which
senses the collector voltage and provides an output
indicating when the device is not fully saturated. Diode D1
is an external high voltage diode with a rated voltage
comparable to the power device. When the IGBT is “on” and
saturated, D1 will pull down the voltage on the Fault
Blanking/Desaturation Input. When the IGBT pulls out of
saturation or is “off”, the current source will pull up the input
and trip the comparator. The comparator threshold is 6.5 V,
allowing a maximum on−voltage of about 5.8 V.
A fault exists when the gate input is high and VCE is
greater than the maximum allowable VCE(sat). The output of
the Desaturation Comparator is ANDed with the gate input
signal and fed into the Short Circuit and Overcurrent
Latches. The Overcurrent Latch will turn−off the IGBT for
the remainder of the cycle when a fault is detected. When
input goes high, both latches are reset. The reference voltage
is tied to the Kelvin Ground instead of the VEE to make the
threshold independent of negative gate bias. Note that for
proper operation of the Desaturation Comparator and the
Fault Output, the Current Sense Input must be biased above
the Overcurrent and Short Circuit Comparator thresholds.
This can be accomplished by connecting Pin 1 to VCC.

Sense IGBT Protection
Another approach to protecting the IGBTs is to sense the
emitter current using a current shunt or Sense IGBTs. This
method has the advantage of being able to use high gain
IGBTs which do not have any inherent short circuit
capability. Current sense IGBTs work as well as current
sense MOSFETs in most circumstances. However, the basic
problem of working with very low sense voltages still exists.
Sense IGBTs sense current through the channel and are
therefore linear with respect to the collector current.
Because IGBTs have a very low incremental on−resistance,
sense IGBTs behave much like low−on resistance current
sense MOSFETs. The output voltage of a properly
terminated sense IGBT is very low, normally less than
100 mV.
The sense IGBT approach requires fault blanking to
prevent false tripping during turn−on. The sense IGBT also
requires that the sense signal is ignored while the gate is low.
This is because the mirror output normally produces large
transient voltages during both turn−on and turn−off due to
the collector to mirror capacitance. With non−sensing types
of IGBTs, a low resistance current shunt (5.0 to 50 mW) can
be used to sense the emitter current. When the output is an
actual short circuit, the inductance will be very low. Since
the blanking circuit provides a fixed minimum on−time, the
peak current under a short circuit can be very high. A short
circuit discern function is implemented by the second
comparator which has a higher trip voltage. The short circuit
signal is latched and appears at the Fault Output. When a
short circuit is detected, the IGBT should be turned−off for
several milliseconds allowing it to cool down before it is
turned back on. The sense circuit is very similar to the
desaturation circuit. It is possible to build a combination
circuit that provides protection for both Short Circuit
capable IGBTs and Sense IGBTs.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
blanking capacitor should be connected from the
Desaturation pin to the VEE pin. If a dual supply is used, the
blanking capacitor should be connected to the Kelvin
Ground. The Current Sense Input should be tied high
because the two comparator outputs are ANDed together.
Although the reverse voltage on collector of the IGBT is
clamped to the emitter by the free−wheeling diode, there is
normally considerable inductance within the package itself.
A small resistor in series with the diode can be used to
protect the IC from reverse voltage transients.
Figure 35 shows a basic IGBT driver application. When
driven from an optoisolator, an input pull up resistor is
required. This resistor value should be set to bias the output
transistor at the desired current. A decoupling capacitor
should be placed close to the IC to minimize switching noise.
A bootstrap diode may be used for a floating supply. If the
protection features are not required, then both the Fault
Blanking/Desaturation and Current Sense Inputs should
both be connected to the Kelvin Ground (Pin 2). When used
with a single supply, the Kelvin Ground and VEE pins should
be connected together. Separate gate resistors are
recommended to optimize the turn−on and turn−off drive.

Figure 37. Desaturation Application
Figure 35. Basic Application
When using sense IGBTs or a sense resistor, the sense
voltage is applied to the Current Sense Input. The sense trip
voltages are referenced to the Kelvin Ground pin. The sense
voltage is very small, typically about 65 mV, and sensitive
to noise. Therefore, the sense and ground return conductors
should be routed as a differential pair. An RC filter is useful
in filtering any high frequency noise. A blanking capacitor
is connected from the blanking pin to VEE. The stray
capacitance on the blanking pin provides a very small level
of blanking if left open. The blanking pin should not be
grounded when using current sensing, that would disable the
sense. The blanking pin should never be tied high, that
would short out the clamp transistor.
