The error memory may only be reset, if no error is pending and all cycle signal inputs are set to LOW for t > 9 µs at the same time. If any other external signals are intended to be connected to the error signal _ERR, the _ERR-signal must be uncoupled (see Figure 2) . The SKHI 61 and SKHI 71 are 6- and 7-channel drivers for IGBT- and MOSFET-modules and can be soldered directly onto the PCB. The drivers are physically separated. Since all subassemblies necessary for operation have been integrated, there is no need for external components except for the gate resistors and the VCE-circuitry. VCE-thresholds and the blanking time are adjustable by integrating additional resistors and capacitors according to the customer's specifications. Interlocking time can be adjusted by simple bridging of connector pins. The driver is equipped with a separate error input for immediate turn-off when receiving error signals from external components (e.g. over-temperature). The independent seventh driver channel of the SKHI 71 guarantees for simple realisation of brake chopper, boost converter or PFC-circuit applications. By bridging of connector pins the driver error signal is transmitted directly to the SIXPACK-driver for turn-off. Technical information Fig. 2 _ERR-Signal in an „open-collector“-circuit I. Primary side The driver input signals may be transmitted directly to the driver inputs by the controller. The input signal circuit was designed to accept a wide voltage range (see table 1). The typical voltage level is at HCMOS level of VDD=5V (0V=Off, +5V=On). State Level / V _ERROR Error 0 However, also 15V-signals may be applied with the same turn-on/turn-off thresholds without additional requirements. In this case the input resistance will be different (see table 1).

In this case an external pull-up resistor must not be connected. Note: It is not possible to connect the error output of the SKHI 61/71 to an error input of the SKHI 61/71. But the error output of the chopper driver (SKHI 71) can be connected directly to the error input. © by SEMIKRON 23-02-2004 ii) chopper driver (only SKHI 71) The error output signal of the additional driver has been designed as an open collector output. A pull-up resistor against the controller's +VCC has to be connected to the controller input for error indication. In case of error, the signal is turned towards earth (zero Volt/ active LOW), otherwise the output will be highly resistive. The error signal of the additional switch will only be active as long as the input signal is on High-level. It is not logically connected to the other six input signals. The error signal of the additional switch may also be directly connected to the error input of the SIXPACK-driver, without requiring an external pull-up resistor. This may be advantageous, if the SIXPACK-driver has to be turned off in case of e.g. a brake chopper error or if only one error signal is evaluated by the controller. Driver Electronic – PCB Drivers 1925 Configuration pins The configuration pins serve to adjust the TOP/BOTTOM interlocking time of all halfbridges. Due to the special pin design the interlocking time can be adjusted by a simple connection to the BSTD terminal (BSS potential) on the PCB without requiring external components.

The earth connection of the driver is directly connected to the IGBT's emitter via the emitter input, whereas a resistor of at least 10 Ω has to be connected to the gate circuit. This resistance is the minimum limit value controlled by the driver output buffer in order to limit the pulse currents to their peak value.

This can be done by attaching a capacitor (value to be calculated by equation 2) between VCE-threshold (pin 2) and earth (pin 3). The VCE-threshold may be adjusted to a minimum value of about 3 V (RVCE = 0 Ω). 50 kHz switching frequency If the turn-off threshold for short-circuit protection is to be reduced (standard 5,8 V), a resistor has to be connected between the VCET1-threshold#1 pin 2 and VCET2threshold#2 pin 4 (see fig. 4; Value to be calculated by equation 1).

Furthermore there has to be connected a pull-up resistor to the additional error output. It is useful to use a capacitor (typ. 100 pF, absolute maximum 2,2 nF) at the _ErrorIn to avoid undesired couplings.
