Footnot es to the K ey D a ta
1) Both supply voltages VDC and VCC should be applied in parallel.
2) The gate current is limited by the gate resistors located on the driver.
3) If the sp ec i fie d value is ex ce ede d, this indicates a driv er overloa d. It should be note d that the driver is
not protected against overload. From 70°C to 85°C, the maximum permissible output power can be
linearly interpolated from the given data.
4) This limit is d ue to active cl am ping. R efer t o “De scr ipti on & Ap pli catio n Ma nual for 2SP 03 20T S CALE-2
IGBT Drivers” (electrical interface) or “Description & Application Manual for 2SP0320V and 2SP0320S
SCALE-2 IGBT Driver s ” (fib e r-optic interface).
5) Undervolta ge monitoring of the primary-side supply voltage (VCC to GND). If the voltage drops below
this limit, a fault is transmitted to the corresponding output(s) (2SP0320T/2SP0320V/2SP0320S) and
the IGBTs are switched off (only 2SP 0320T).
6) The input impedance can be modified to values < 18 kΩ (customer-specific solution).
7) Turn-on and turn-off threshold values can be increased (customer-specific solution).
8) The res ulting pulse width o f the direct o utput of t he gate drive unit f or short-cir cuit type I (excl uding
the delay of the gate resistors) is the sum of r esponse time plus delay to IGBT turn-off.
9) The turn-off event of the IGBT is delayed by the specified time after the response time.
10) Factory set value. The blocking time can be reduced with an external resistor. Refer to “Descripti on &
Application Ma nual for 2 SP0320T SCALE-2 IGBT Driver s”.
11) Measured from the transition of the turn-on or turn-off command at the driver input to direct output
of the gate drive unit (e xcluding the delay of the gate resistors).
12) Including the delay of the external fiber-optic links. Measured from the transition of the turn-on or
turn-off command at the optical transmitter on the host controller side to the direct output of the gate
drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate r esistors).
13) Refers to the direct output of the gate drive unit (excluding the delay of the gate resistors).
14) Transmission delay of the fault state from the secondary side to the primary status outputs.
15) Measured on the host side. The fault status on the secondary side is automatically reset after the
specified time.
16) Including the delay of the external fiber-optic links. Measured from the transition of the turn-on or
turn-off command at the optical transmitter on the host controller side to the transition of the
acknowledge signal at the optical receiver on the host controller side.
17) The gate resistors can be leaded or surface mounted. CONCEPT reserves the right to determine which
type will be used. Typically, higher quantit ies will be produced with SM D resistors a nd small quantities
with leaded resistors.
18) A dV/dt feedback can optionally be implemented in order to reduce the rate of rise of the collector
emitter voltage of the IGBTs at turn-off (customer-specific solution).
19) HiPot testing (= dielectric testing) must generally be restricted to suitable components. This gate
driver is suited for HiPot te sting. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to limi t the testing time to
1s slots as stipulated by EN 50178. Excessive HiPot testing at voltages much higher than 850V AC(eff)
may lead to insulation degradation. No degradation has been observed over 1min. testing at
3800VAC(eff). Every produ ction sample shipped to c ustomers has undergone 100% testing at t he given
value or higher (<5100Veff) for 1s.
20) This specifi cation g uarante es that t he drive informa tion will be tran sferred reliably eve n at a high DC-
link voltage and with ultra-fast switching operations.
21) The transceivers required on the host controller side are not supplied with the gate driver. It is
recommended to use the same types as used in the gate driver. For product information refer to
www.IGBT-Driver.com/go/fiberoptics
22) The recommended transmitter current at the host controller is 20mA. A higher current may increase
jitter or delay at turn-off.
23) The typical transmitter current at the gate driver is 18mA. In case of supply undervoltage, the
minimum transmitter current at the gate driver is 12mA: this is suitable for adequate plastic optical
fibers with a length of more than 10 meters.
24) If the speci fied value is ex c eede d, this indicates a d rive r overload. It sho uld be not ed that the driver is
not protected against overload.

25) Delay of external fiber-optic links. Measured from the driver secondary side (ASIC output) to the
optical receiver on the host controller.
26) Undervoltage monitoring of the secondary-side supply voltage (Visox to Veex and Veex to COMx
which correspond with the approximate turn-on and turn-off gate-emitter voltages). If the
corresponding volta ge drops below this limit, the IGBT is switched off and a fault is transmitt ed to the
corresp o nding out put.
27) Partial discharge measurement is performed in accordance with IEC 60270 and isolation coordination
specified in E N 50178. The par tial discharge extincti on voltage bet ween primary and either se condary
side is coordinated for safe isolation to EN 50178.
28) Jitter measurements are performed with input signals INx switching between 0V and 15V referred to
GND, with a corresponding rise time and fall time of 8ns.
