M57959L Powerex, Inc., 200 Hillis Street, Youngwood, Pennsylvania 15697-1800 (724) 925-7272 Gate Driver Hybrid Integrated Circuit For Driving IGBT Modules Block Diagram 4 VCC Detect Circuit 14 Description: M57959L is a hybrid integrated circuit designed for driving n-channel IGBT modules in any gate amplifier application. This device operates as an isolation amplifier for these modules and provides the required electrical isolation between the input and output with an opto-coupler. Short circuit protection is provided by a built in desaturation detector. A fault signal is provided if the short circuit protection is activated. 1 Detect Pin 185V Timer and Reset Circuit Interface 5 VOUT – Gate Shutdown Circuit 13 8 Fault Output Opto-Coupler 6 VEE Outline Drawing Dimensions in mm 43.0 22.0 Features: □ Built in high CMRR optocoupler (VCMR : Typical 30kV/ms, Min. 15kV/ms) 4.5 ± 1.5 0.35 ± 0.2 11.0 0.55 ± 0.2 2.54 5.5 2.54 × 13 = 33.02 1 □ Electrical Isolation between input and output with optocouplers (Viso = 2500, VRMS for 1 min.) 3.5 5.5 8.5 14 Test Circuit R □ TTL compatible input interface 4.7 kV VIN 8 □ Two supply drive topology D1 1 DZ1 30V VOUT 5 tr tf 90% Rext 4 VIN + 47µF + + 47µF + 14 13 TTL, etc. VIN = 5V 6 VCC 10% 0 VEE VCC = 15 V VEE = 10V tPLH tPHL □ Built in short circuit protection circuit with a pin for fault output Application: To drive IGBT modules for inverter, AC Servo systems, UPS, CVCF inverter, and welding applications.
