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 2 parallel 4S SKYPER 42 R is an adaptor board for the IGBT module SEMiX (spring pin version) with size 4. The board is paralleling two SEMiX modules and realising a symmetrical gate control. 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® 42. Please read the Technical Explanations SKYPER® 42 before using the Adaptor Board.

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.
