Introduction
The MA300E12 and MA300E17 are developed for 1200V and 1700V PrimePACK™ modules. Used
together with the 2ED300E17-SFO evaluation adapter board and 2ED300C17-S /-ST EiceDRIVER™
makes the ‘Flexible driver Starter Kit’ easy to use (Fig. 2). The ‘Flexible Starter Kit’ is dedicated for
single module operation and simple PrimePACK™ paralleling. In all cases one 2ED300E17-SFO
adapter board and one 2ED300C17-S driver is required. Up to three modules can be paralleled, each
equipped with one MA300Exx board.
The MA300Exx module adapter boards are available from Infineon in small quantities. Functions and
properties of these parts are described in the datasheet chapter of this document whereas the
remaining paragraphs provide information intended to enable the customer to copy, modify and qualify
the design for their own specific application.
Environmental conditions were considered in the design of the MA300Exx. The requirements for leadfree reflow soldering have been considered when components were selected. However the design
was only tested as described in this document but not qualified regarding manufacturing and operation
over the whole operating ambient temperature range or lifetime.
The boards provided by Infineon are subjected to functional testing only.
Due to their purpose evaluation boards are not subjected to the same procedures regarding Returned
Material Analysis (RMA), Process Change Notification (PCN) and Product Withdraw (PWD) as regular
products.
See Legal Disclaimer and Warnings for further restrictions on Infineon warranty and liability.

The MA300Exx should be screwed to the PrimePACK™ auxiliary terminals according to AN2006-095.
In that way necessary connections between module adapter and module itself are done correctly
(Figure 3). PCB outline and relevant dimensions needed for better system integration are shown in
Figure 4.

After the module adapter has been correctly mounted to the PrimePACK™ module all external
electrical control signals should be applied to connector X1 and X2 as shown on Fig. 6 and listed in
Table 2. When MA300Exx is used together with 2ED300E17-SFO the necessary connections to
module adapter are depicted in Figure 5. Control signals required for module driving should be
connected to Input Interface of 2ED300E17-SFO as described in AN2007-05. In that way no additional
connections between module and IGBT driver are needed. The setup ready to use is shown in Fig. 2.

provides additional functions separately for both channels (top and bottom IGBT):
• Gate resistors
• Gate signal amplifier / emitter follower - booster
• VCE monitoring for short circuit detection
• Active voltage clamping

MA300E12 and MA300E17 are assembled and delivered as shown on Fig. 7. The correct gate
resistors should be soldered by the customer. Values for 1200V modules are given in Table 3. Table 4

3.3
Gate signal amplifier6
When the IGBT transistor switches -on and –off, a high peak of the gate current must be delivered
from a driver. Usually there is no technical problem when one module is driven. If one IGBT driver is
used for modules connected in parallel the driver’s amplifier must deliver the cumulative gate current.
This switching condition leads to the gate power loss being concentrated in one relatively small
physical area and may result in thermal problems. The high peak currents also require a high current
gain driver.
Overcoming gain limitation becomes possible when the module adapter includes a dedicated gate
signal amplifier (Fig. 8, Fig. 13 and Fig. 14). MA300Exx have an emitter follower or booster stage
already implemented. With four complementary bipolar transistors connected in parallel the minimum
gain @IG=30A is not smaller than 1007.
Due to the fact that every PrimePACK™ has its own module adapter the driving conditions are equal.
Input resistance of the module adapter is not smaller than 37Ω.
Benefits provided by booster:
•
•
Fast control of gate-emitter voltage for every PrimePACK™ module
Simple module paralleling

3.4
VCE monitoring for short circuit detection
If the IGBT transistor conducts a current a few times higher than the nominal value, the transistor
desaturates and the VCE voltage increases. This behavior can be used for short circuit detection and
switching-off an IGBT transistor. The short circuit withstand time for Infineon high power IGBT
modules is ≤ 10µs. During this time the short circuit should be detected and the IGBT should be
switched off without exceeding VCES.
When MA300Exx is used together with 2ED300E17-SFO the RSSD resistors (Soft Shut Down) must be
chosen correctly in order to insure proper short circuit protection. The detailed procedure is described
in AN2007-05 chapter 3.5.
Figure 9a shows three FF1000R17IE4 PrimePACK™ modules under short circuit operation where
short circuit protection on the 2ED300E17-SFO was disabled. High dIC/dt during switching off creates
a large overvoltage spike which is limited by active voltage clamping. Figure 9b depicts how a properly
selected RSSD resistor limits the short circuit time (<10µs) and slows down the collector current when is
turning off.

3.5
Active voltage clamping – boosted version
Active voltage clamping is a technique which keeps transient VCE overvoltages below VCES when the
IGBT switches off. The standard approach to active clamping is to use a chain of avalanche diodes
connected between the auxiliary collector and the gate of an IGBT module. When the VCE voltage
exceeds the diodes breakdown voltage the diodes current sums with the current from the driver
output. Due to increased gate-emitter voltage the transistor is held in an active mode and the turn off
process is extended. The dIC/dt slows down to a value which results in limited VCE overshoot.
Avalanche diodes conduct high peak currents during time period in which VCE overvoltage is limited.
Overvoltage protection of the MA300EXX is based on an improved variant of the active clamping as
described above. The clamping diodes are connected directly to the IGBTs gate but also to the input
of the amplifier located on the MA300EXX. Therefore the major amount of current for recharging the
gate is derived from the gate driver power supply instead of via the clamping diodes. This provides
more consistent clamping voltage due to operating the clamping diodes at a lower current level and
furthermore enables the clamping circuit to be designed independently from the selected external gate
resistor. Finally the same circuit for 1200V and 1700V modules using different diodes types has been
realized and is shown in Fig. 1.

3.6
Maximum switching frequency
The switching frequency of an IGBT is limited either by the maximal power of the driver voltage supply
or by the maximal temperature of the PCB due to the power losses in the external gate resistors.
These power losses in the gate resistors depend on the IGBT gate charge, gate voltage magnitude
and on the switching frequency of the IGBT. Due to the power losses in the external gate resistors, the
heat will be generated, which leads to increase of the PCB temperature in the neighborhood of these
resistors. This temperature must not be higher than the melting temperature of the PCB, i.e. 105°C for
a standard FR4 material. The calculation of the power losses in the gate resistors can be done by
utilizing Equation 1:
Pdis = P ( REXT ) + P( RINT ) = ∆Vout ⋅ f s ⋅ QG
(1)
where:
Pdis = dissipated power,
∆Vout = voltage step at the driver output
fs = switching frequency,
QG = IGBT gate charge (for the given gate voltage range)
The complete gate resistor consists of the internal gate resistor RGINT together with an external gate
resistor RGEXT and due to that, a part of the IGBT power losses will be dissipated directly through the
DCB into the base plate, whereas the other part of the power losses will be dissipated externally in the
ambient air and in the PCB. The ratio of the losses dissipated internally P(RGINT) and externally
P(RGEXT) corresponds directly to the ratio of the mentioned RGINT and RGEXT resistors. Figure 11
presents a measurement result showing the external gate resistor temperature in dependency on the
power transformed in that resistor. It can be read from the graph, that for the ambient temperature of
25°C and the base plate temperature of 125°C the maximal temperature of the PCB reaches 105°C
with power losses in RGEXT equal to 1.1W. In that case, the limiting factor for the switching frequency is
not the DC-DC converter, with its available power of 4W pro channel, but the maximal temperature of
the PCB. Higher switching frequency can be only obtained by utilizing a PCB with higher melting
temperature.

The driving power increases accordingly to the number of paralleled modules and their switching
frequency. The maximum switching frequency in this case is determined by the PCB temperature and
the available driving power (4W when used with 2ED300E17-SFO). Table 5 shows switching

Base plate temperature monitoring by internal NTC resistor
The IGBT module base plate temperature can be monitored by proper usage of the NTC resistor built
into the module. Electronic acquisition of the NTC temperature requires an external circuit and some
examples of circuits and details of the NTC characteristics are described in the application note:
AN2009-10.
Notice: This temperature measurement is not suitable for short circuit detection or short term overload
and may be used to protect the module from long term overload conditions or malfunction of the
cooling system.
An electrical isolation must be assured between the NTC input signal (IGBT side) and the NTC output
control signal.

Parallel operation
The Flexible Starter Kit9 can be used for driving one PrimePACK™ module as shown on Fig. 2 or up
to three paralleled PrimePACK™ modules. In this case all the PrimePACK™ modules should have
dedicated MA300Exx boards connected to the 2ED300E17-SFO adapter board as shown on Figure
12. It must be noted that RSSD resistor in every case should be selected accordingly to AN2007-05
chapter 3.5.

Assembly drawing
Basic circuit and layout for the MA300E12 and MA300E17 are similar. The only differences are the
transil diodes: ZD1, ZD2, ZD3, ZD4, ZD21, ZD22, ZD23, ZD24 types and assembly. Gate resistors
should be assembled accordingly to Table 3 and active clamping diodes should be assembled
accordingly to Table 7.
