2SC0106T SCALE™-2 IGBT Gate Driver Core 2SC0106T – Dual-Channel Driver Core for 1200 v IGBTs – the Alternative to Opto-Coupler Driver Solutions for Inverter Designs requiring reinforced Insulation in the 37-110 kW Power range. PrODUCT DESCrIPTIOn new SCALE™-2+ technology enables Soft Shut Down (SSD) to be implemented in the event of a short circuit without requiring additional components. This is particularly beneficial in applications with low stray-inductance where full Advanced Active Clamping may not be necessary. The 2SC0106T dual-channel gate driver core is suitable for inverter designs in the 37 110 kW power range. It drives 600 v to 1200 v IGBTs with collector currents up to 450 A and switches at frequencies up to 50 khz. The 2SC0106T complies with all standards for safety and reinforced insulations. The new cost-effective SCALE™-2+ dual-driver core 2SC0106T combines unrivalled compactness with broad applicability. The driver was designed for universal applications requiring high reliability. The 2SC0106T drives all standard IGBT modules up to 450 A/1200 v or 600 A/650 v. It delivers all the necessary functionality required for an advanced dual-channel IGBT gate driver including an isolated DC/DC converter, soft start, short-circuit protection, Soft Shut Down (SSD) and supply-voltage monitoring. Page 6 Each of the two channels is electrically isolated from the primary side and the other channel. The 2SC0106T is the most compact driver core available for industrial applications, with a footprint of only 45.5 x 31 mm and a height of 13 mm, so even very space-restricted designs can be efficiently accommodated. Compared with conventional drivers, the use of the highly integrated SCALE™-2+ chipset results in the component count being cut by around 85 %. This leads to increased reliability and minimized cost.
