1SC0450V2A0-45 and 1SC0450V2A0-65
Preliminary Data Sheet
Single-Channel Cost-Effective SCALE™-2 IGBT Driver Core with Fiber-Optic
Interface for 4500V and 6500V IGBTs
Abstract
The 1SC0450V2A0-xx features versatile fiber-optic links and drives all usual high-power IGBT modules up to
4500V or 6500V. Thanks to its high output power capability, a single 1SC0450V2A0-xx driver can drive up to
four parallel-connected 4500V or 6500V IGBT modules and consequently provides easy inverter design
covering higher power ratings. Multi-level topologies involving 3300V or 4500V IGBTs with higher isolation
requirements can also be easily supported by 1SC0450V2A0-xx.
The 1SC0450V2A0-xx combines a complete single-channel driver core with all components required for
driving, such as an isolated DC/DC converter, short-circuit protection, Advanced Active Clamping as well as
supply voltage monitoring. Enhanced features such as gate boosting or power supply short-circuit protection
are also implemented and provide further driving benefits.
The driver’s secondary side is electrically isolated from its primary side. The 1SC0450V2A0-45 meets the
requirements of 4500V IGBT applications while the 1SC0450V2A0-65 covers the requirements of 6500V IGBT
applications.
An output current of 50A and 6W drive power is available, making the 1SC0450V2A0-xx an ideal driver
platform for universal use in medium and high-power applications. The driver provides a gate voltage swing of
15V/-10V. The turn-on voltage is regulated to maintain a stable 15V regardless of the output power level.
Its outstanding EMC allows safe and reliable operation even in harsh industrial applications.
