The name "SCALE" is an acronym for the most outstanding properties of the SCALE series of drivers: IGD LDI IGD LDI = Logic to Driver Interface IGD = Intelligent Gate Driver SCALE = Scaleable, Compact, All purpose, Low cost and Easy to use. The SCALE driver is a winning project of the competition organized by "Technology Center Switzerland 1998". And ABB Switzerland AG honored the development of the SCALE driver by distinguishing it as the "best power electronics project in 1998".

When the feed voltage exceeds 16V, this protection can be subject to thermal overload. 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. This should be considered as a recommended value. Please consult the section: "Output power and self-heating". Under-voltage monitoring for protecting the power semiconductors. The voltage refers to the local supply voltage of each individual drive channel. However, this corresponds approximately to the voltage at VDC with respect to GND. The input levels must never exceed the limits of the supply voltage (i.e. between GND and VDD), otherwise latch-up of the integrated circuits LDI 00I can occur. Particular care must be taken when driving via cables or longer leads. The gate current must be limited to its maximum value by a gate resistor. At a load of 39nF in series with 5.6 W (typical load of a 1200V/100A IGBT). Maximum continuous or repeatedly-applied DC voltage or peak value of the repeatedly-applied AC voltage between all inputs and all outputs. However, types that have been measured and selected for higher partial-discharge voltages (e.g. for 1700V IGBT modules) are also available (see Note 11). This specification guarantees that the drive information will be transferred reliably even at a high DClink voltage and fastest switching operations. The application-specific self-heating of the drivers - specially at high load - must be taken into account. 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). The test voltage of 4000 Vac(rms)/50Hz may be applied only once during a minute. It should be noted that with this (strictly speaking obsolete) test method, some (minor) damage occurs to the isolation layers due to the partial discharge. Consequently, this test is not performed at CONCEPT as a series test. In the case of repeated isolation 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 better suited than such test methods as it is almost entirely non-destructive. The first series (1988) has a creep path of 7.0mm between adjacent channels. A creep path of 12.7mm will be implemented (with 100% mechanical compatibility) in later series. The typical blocking time after an error is 1 second. If required, versions with other blocking times may also be supplied.

All data that apply to the whole type series of SCALE drivers is given in the document entitled: "Description and Application Manual for SCALE Drivers". In particular, this manual contains a detailed description of the concept of the SCALE drivers, a description of the function of all terminal pins as well as other important application hints. Overview and application The SCALE driver 6SD106E is a six-pack driver for power MOSFETs and IGBTs. The terminal pins of the 6SD106E driver are arranged so that the layout can be kept very simple and the logic signal flow (input signal drive circuit power transistors) is maintained. A distance of 12.7mm is observed between the drive signal and the power potential!

To correspond more effectively to the turnon characteristic of the IGBTs, the SCALE Page 9 6&$/('ULYHU Data Sheet 6SD106E drivers do not use a static reference voltage to compare the voltage at the collector.

Vth 0V The value in the "Vth1" column corresponds to the voltage threshold after the response time has elapsed. Response time The value in the "Vth2" column corresponds to the voltage which is set up statically across the resistor Rth. This static value is typically reached after between 10 and 15 s.

This typically suffices to drive a 100A/1200V six-pack IGBT module with 25kHz. In the case of a drive power of 6W, the typical input power of the driver is about 7W; the losses due to the driver total about 1 W. Because CONCEPT cannot predict how the drivers will be incorporated in the user's application, no binding recommended value for selfheating and thus for the maximum useful output power at high ambient temperatures can be made. It is consequently recommended to check the self-heating of the system, especially when it is used at higher temperatures. For the calculation of the exact output power, reference should be made to Application Note AN-9701 "IGBT drivers correctly calculated" from CONCEPT.
