Data Sheet IGD616
Single Channel SCALE IGBT Driver Core
A successor to the IGD608/615 single-channel gate driver cores
for 1200V and 1700V IGBTs
The IGD616 is a highly-integrated single IGBT
driver core based on CONCEPT's proprietary
SCALE technology which has been established
on the market as an industrial standard since
1999.
The IGD616 has been developed for direct
replacement of IGD608 and IGD615. It features
a dedicated set of compatible items to ease
seamless transition in existing designs. Its drive
power and performance exceed prior
specifications such that now one single driver
core IGD616 will cover the range of both
IGD608 and IGD615 at a superior reliability
level.
The driver core is optimized to match various IGBTs and applications from 100A /
1200V to 1000A / 1700V and beyond.

Compatibility to IGD608 / IGD615 Gate Drivers
The IGD616 is available with different options covering a dedicated set of compatible
items. In this data sheet, the text referring to critical compatible items is underlined.
Option N and Option I select between non-inverting and inverting inputs respectively. It
is no longer possible to interchange the IN+ and IN- inputs to invert the logic.
On the secondary side, any fault state is extended by a period known as the command
blocking time. During this time, the driver is kept in the off-state. The command
blocking time is set at the factory to a nominal value of 22ms. Other values upon
request. It is no longer possible for the application to adjust the blocking time.
For option T, the signal transformer interface is used to transfer the secondary fault
signal to the primary side. This transfer may be performed at each change in the
command signal, but only during the blocking time. For option C, an optocoupler is
used to transfer the secondary-side fault state to the primary side within a delay of less
than several microseconds. The initial creepage distance and the maximum operating
voltage are reduced by the optocoupler.
For a summary, refer to the Ordering Information section on the last page.
