IHD260/660 Preliminary Data Sheet IHD 260/660 Dual Channel SCALE IGBT Driver Core A successor to the IHD 215/280/680 dual-gate driver cores for 1200V and 1700V IGBTs The IHD 260 and IHD 660 (short IHDx60) are highly-integrated dual IGBT driver cores based on CONCEPT s proprietary SCALE technology which has been established on the market as an industrial standard since 1999. As most customers apply the IHD 215, IHD 280 and IHD 680 drivers in a similar way, the IHDx60 covers a dedicated set of compatible items to give the benefits of optimum performance, optimum reliability and a competitive price. The driver cores are optimized to match various IGBTs and applications from 25A to 450A and 1200V to 1700V. Typical applications include half-bridge control of 1700V/75A IGBTs at switching frequencies up to 100kHz and 1700V/450A IGBTs at switching frequencies up to 18.5kHz for the IHD660 version. Features Applications Direct replacement of IHD 215/280/680 Driving 1200V and 1700V IGBTs Highly approved SCALE technology Switching DC to 100 kHz Non-inverting or optionally inverting inputs Duty cycle 0 ... 100% Gate drive capability 6A, 1W or 3W each Operating temp. -40 ... +85 C Typical delay time of 315ns Two-level topologies Power supply voltage monitoring set to 11.5V AC drives, SMPS, etc. Superior EMC (dv/dt > 100V/ns, ESD > 2kV) Industry, traction, wind power Direct driving of two independent driver channels Command signal transmitted via transformer interface Fault signal via transformer interface or optional optocoupler 25ms blocking time at fault with custom-specific time options IGBT-Driver.com Page 1 IHD 260/660 Preliminary Data Sheet Compatibility to IHD 215/280/680 Gate Drivers The IHDx60 are 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 as could be done with IHD 215/280/680. 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 25ms. 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. Page 2 CT-Concept.com
