SCALE Dual-Channel Plug-and-Play Driver
Driver solution for 130mm x 140mm dual IGBT modules with
electr ica l in terfa c e suita ble fo r the followi n g IGBT modules:
• DIM800DDM12-A000
• DIM800DCM12-A000
Abstract
The 2SB315A-DIM800DDM12-A000 is a dual-channel driver with an electrical interface
based on CONCEPT’s dual SCALE driver 2SD315AI, a proven technology for reliable
driving a nd safe operation o f IGBTs.
The driver is matched to the above mentioned 1200V modules from Dynex. Its plug-
and-play capability makes it ready to operate immediately after mounting. The user
needs invest no effort in designing or adjusting it to a specific applicati on.
For drive rs adapted to other types of h igh-power and hi gh-voltage IG BT modules, refer

Footnotes to the key data
1) The drivers have a zener diode on each channel for over-voltage protection. When the feed voltage
exceeds 16V, this protection may be exposed to thermal overload.
2) If the specified power consumption is exceeded, this indicates an overload of the DC/DC converter.
It should be noted that these DC/DC converters are not protected against overload.
3) Application-specific self-heating of gate drivers and IGBT modules, especially at high switching
frequency, must be taken into account. As a rule, the switching frequency is limited due to the
switching losses of the IGBT modules. Because CONCEPT cannot predict how the drivers will be
incorporated in the user’ s application, no binding recommended value for self-heating and thus for
the maximum useable output power can be made. Users are therefore recommended to check the
gate driver’s ambient temperature within the system.
4) This limit is due to active clamping. Refer to the “Description and Application Manual for 2SB315A
SCALE Dual-Channel Plug-and-play IGBT Driver”.
5) Under-voltage monitoring of the supply voltage to the gate driver. If the voltage drops below this
limit, the power modules are switched off.
6) The gate curre nt is lim ited by the gate resistors located on the driver.
7) Pulse width of the direct output of the gate drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate resistors).
8) The typical blocking time after an error is 1 second. Versions with other bloc king times m ay also be
supplied if required.
9) Measured from the transition of the turn-on or turn-off command at the host controller to direct
output of the gate drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate resistors).
10) Refers to the direct output of the gate drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate resistors).
11) The test voltage of 4000 Vac(rms)/50Hz may be applie d only on ce during one minute . It should be
noted that with this (strictly speaking obsolete) test method, some (minor) damage occurs to the
insulation layers due to the partial discharge . Conseque ntly, this test is not perfor med at CONCE PT
as a series test. In the case of repeated insulation tests (e.g. module test, equipment test, system
test), the subsequent tests should be performed with a lower test voltage: the test voltage is
reduced by 400V for each additional test. The more modern if more elaborate partial-discharge
measurement is preferable to such test methods as it is almost entirely non-destructive.
12) The partial discharge is not measured for the standard types. Tested and selected types with
guaranteed partial-discharge immunity can be supplied for applications with maximum
requirements and higher operating voltages (such as railroad applications).
13) This specification guarantees that the drive information will be transferred reliably even at a high
DC-link voltage and with ultra-fast sw itching operations.
