The SKHI 22A (SKHI 21A) is a form-, fit- and mostly function-compatible replacement to its predecessor, the SKHI 22 (SKHI 21). The SKHI 22B is recommended for any new development. It has two additional signal pins on the primary side with which further functions may be utilized. The SKHI 22A and SKHI 22B are available with standard isolation (isolation testing voltage 2500 VAC, 2sec.) as well as with an increased isolation voltage (type "H4") (isolation testing voltage 4000 VAC, 2sec.). The SKHI 21A is only offered with standard isolation features. Differences SKHI 22-22A (SKHI 21-21A) Compared to the old SKHI 22/21 the new driver SKHI 22A / 21A is absolutely compatible with regards to pins and mostly with regards to functions. It may be equivalently used in existing PCBs. The following points have to be considered when exchanging the drivers: * Leave out the two resistors RTD for interlocking dead time adjustment at pin 11 and pin 9. * The interlocking time of the driver stages in halfbridge applications is adjusted to 3,25 s. It may be increased up to 4,25 s by applying a 15 V (VS) supply voltage at Pin 9 (TDT2) (wire bridge) * The error reset time is typically 9s. * The input resistance is 10 k. As far as the SKHI 22A is concerned, the negative gate voltage required for turn-off of the IGBT is no longer -15V, but -7V. General description The new driver generation SKHI 22A/B, SKHI 21A consists of a hybrid component which may directly be mounted to the PCB. All devices necessary for driving, voltage supply, error monitoring and potential separation are integrated in the driver. In order to adapt the driver to the used power module, only very few additional wiring may be necessary. The forward voltage of the IGBT is detected by an integrated short-circuit protection, which will turn off the module when a certain threshold is exceeded. In case of short-circuit or too low supply voltage the integrated error memory is set and an error signal is generated. (c) by SEMIKRON 30-09-2008 The driver is connected to a controlled + 15 V-supply voltage. The input signal level is 0/15 V for the SKHI 22A/ 21A and 0/5 V for the SKHI 22B. In the following explanations the whole driver family will be designated as SKHI 22B. If a special type is referred to, the concerned driver version will explicitly be named. Technical explanations1 Description of the circuit block diagram and the functions of the driver The block diagram (fig.1) shows the inputs of the driver (primary side) on the left side and the outputs (secondary side) on the right. The following functions are allocated to the primary side: Input-Schmitt-trigger, CMOS compatible, positive logic (input high = IGBT on) Interlock circuit and deadtime generation of the IGBT If one IGBT is turned on, the other IGBT of a halfbridge cannot be switched. Additionally, a digitally adjustable interlocking time is generated by the driver (see fig. 3), which has to be longer than the turn-off delay time of the IGBT. This is to avoid that one IGBT is turned on before the other one is not completely discharged. This protec-tion-function may be neutralized by switching the select input (pin6) (see fig. 3). fig. 3 documents possible interlock-times. "High" value can be achieved with no connection and connection to 5 V as well.

Switching pulses shorter than 500 ns are suppressed and not transmitted to the IGBT. Power supply monitoring (VS) A controlled 15 V-supply voltage is applied to the driver. If it falls below 13 V, an error is monitored and the error output signal switches to low level. 1.The following descriptions apply to the use of the hybrid driver for IGBTs as well as for power MOSFETs. For the reason of shortness, only IGBTs will be mentioned in the following. The designations "collector" and "emitter" will refer to IGBTs, whereas for the MOSFETs "drain" and "source" are to be read instead. Driver Electronic - PCB Drivers 6 The error memory is set in case of under-voltage or short-circuit of the IGBTs. In case of short-circuit, an error signal is transmitted by the VCE-input via the pulse transformers to the error memory. The error memory will lock all switching pulses to the IGBTs and trigger the error output (P10) of the driver. The error output consists of an open collector transistor, which directs the signal to earth in case of error. SEMIKRON recommends the user to provide for a pull-up resistor directly connected to the error evaluation board and to adapt the error level to the desired signal voltage this way. The open collector transistor may be connected to max. 30 V / 15 mA. If several SKHI 22Bs are used in one device, the error terminals may also be paralleled. ATTENTION: Only the SKHI 22A / 21A is equipped with an internal pull-up resistor of 10 k versus VS. The SKHI 22B does not contain an internal pull-up resistor. The error memory may only be reset, if no error is pending and both cycle signal inputs are set to low for > 9 s at the same time. Pulse transformer set The transformer set consists of two pulse transformers one is used bidirectional for turn-on and turn-off signals of the IGBT and the error feedback between primary and secondary side, the other one for the DC/DC-converter. The DC/DC-converter serves as potential-separation and power supply for the two secondary sides of the driver. The isolation voltage for the "H4"-type is 4000 VAC and 2500 VAC for all other types. The secondary side consists of two symmetrical driver switches integrating the following components: IGBT is turned off. VCEstat is the steady-state value of VCEref and is adjusted to the required maximum value for each IGBT by an external resistor RCE to be connected between the terminals CCE (S6/S15) and E (S9/S12). It may not exceed 10 V. The time constant for the delay of VCEref may be increased by an external capacitor CCE, which is connected in parallel to RCE. It controls the time tmin which passes after turn-on of the IGBT before the VCE-monitoring is activated. This makes possible any adaptation to the switching behavior of any of the IGBTs. After tmin has passed, the VCE-monitoring will be triggered as soon as VCE > VCEref and will turn off the IGBT. External components and possible adjustments of the hybrid driver Fig. 1 shows the required external components for adjustment and adaptation to the power module. VCE - monitoring adjustment The external components RCE and CCE are applied for adjusting the steady-state threshold and the short-circuit monitoring dynamic. RCE and CCE are connected in parallel to the terminals CCE (S15/ S6) and E (S12/ S9) . 8 7 6 1200V (min) 5 V CEstat / V Error monitoring and error memory 1200V (typ) 4 1200V (max) 3 1700V (min) 2 1700V (typ) 1 1700V (max) 0 10 20 30 RCE / kOhm 40 50 Supply voltage The voltage supply consists of a rectifier, a capacitor, a voltage controller for - 7 V and + 15 V and a + 10 V reference voltage. Gate driver The output transistors of the power drivers are MOSFETs. The sources of the MOSFETs are separately connected to external terminals in order to provide setting of the turn-on and turn-off speed by the external resistors RON and ROFF. Do not connect the terminals S7 with S8 and S13 with S14, respectively. The IGBT is turned on by the driver at + 15 V by RON and turned off at - 7 V by ROFF. RON and ROFF may not chosen below 3 . In order to ensure locking of the IGBT even when the driver supply voltage is turned off, a 22 k-resistor versus the emitter output (E) has been integrated at output GOFF. Fig. 4 VCEstat in dependence of RCE (Tamb = 25C) Dimensioning of RCE and CCE can be done in three steps: 1. Calculate the maximum forward voltage from the datasheet of the used IGBT and determine VCEstat 2. Calculate approximate value of RCE according to equation (1) or (1.1) from VCEstat or determine RCE by using fig.4. 3. Determine tmin and calculate CCE according to equations (2) and (3). Typical values are for 1200 V IGBT: VCE-monitoring The VCE-monitoring controls the collector-emitter voltage VCE of the IGBT during its on-state. VCE is internally limited to 10 V. If the reference voltage VCEref is exceeded, the IGBT will be switched off and an error is indicated. The reference voltage VCEref may dynamically be adapted to the IGBTs switching behaviour. Immediately after turn-on of the IGBT, a higher value is effective than in the steady state. This value will, however, be reset, when the 7 Driver Electronic - PCB Drivers VCEstat = 5 V; tmin = 1,45 s, RCE = 18 k, CCE = 330 pF for 1700 V IGBT: VCEstat = 6 V; tmin = 3 s, RCE = 36 k, CCE = 470 pF Adaptation to 1700 V IGBT When using 1700 V IGBTs it is necessary to connect a 1 k / 0,4 W adaptation resistor between the VCE-terminal (S20/ S1) and the respective collector. 30-09-2008 (c) by SEMIKRON Adaptation to error signal level An open collector transistor is used as error terminal, which, in case of error, leads the signal to earth. The signal has to be adapted to the evaluation circuit's voltage level by means of an externally connected pull-up resistor. The maximum load applied to the transistor shall be 30 V / 15 mA. As for the SKHI 22A / 21A a 10 k pull-up resistor versus VS (P13) has already been integrated in the driver. IGBT switching speed adjustment The IGBT switching speed may be adjusted by the resistors RON and ROFF. By increasing RON the turn-on speed will decrease. The reverse peak current of the free-wheeling diode will diminish. SEMIKRON recommends to adjust RON to a level that will keep the turn-on delay time td(on) of the IGBT < 1 s. By increasing ROFF the turn-off speed of the IGBT will decrease. The inductive peak overvoltage during turn-off will diminish. The minimum gate resistor value for ROFF and RON is 3 . Typical values for RON and ROFF recommended by SEMIKRON are given in fig. 5 RGon RGoff CCE pF RCE k RVCE k SKM 50GB123D 22 22 330 18 0 SKM 75GB123D 22 22 330 18 0 SKM 100GB123D 15 15 330 18 0 SKM 145GB123D 12 12 330 18 0 SKM 150GB123D 12 12 330 18 0 SKM 200GB123D 10 10 330 18 0 SKM 300GB123D 8,2 8,2 330 18 0 SKM 400GA123D 6,8 6,8 330 18 0 SKM 75GB173D 15 15 470 36 1 SKM 100GB173D 12 12 470 36 1 SKM 150GB173D 10 10 470 36 1 SKM 200GB173D 8,2 8,2 470 36 1 SK-IGBT-Modul SEMIKRON recommends to start-up operation using the values recommended by SEMIKRON and to optimize the values gradually according to the IGBT switching behaviour and overvoltage peaks within the specific circuitry. Driver performance and application limits The drivers are designed for application with halfbridges and single modules with a maximum gate charge QGE < 4 C (see fig. 6). The charge necessary to switch the IGBT is mainly depending on the IGBT's chip size, the DC-link voltage and the gate voltage. This correlation is also shown in the corresponding module datasheet curves. It should, however, be considered that the SKHI 22B is turned on at + 15 V and turned off at - 7 V. Therefore, the gate voltage will change by 22 V during every switching procedure. Unfortunately, most datasheets do not indicate negative gate voltages. In order to determine the required charge, the upper leg of the charge curve may be prolonged to + 22 V for determination of approximate charge per switch. The medium output current of the driver is determined by the switching frequency and the gate charge. For the SKHI 22B the maximum medium output current is IoutAVmax < 40 mA. The maximum switching frequency fMAX may be calculated with the following formula, the maximum value however being 50 kHz due to switching reasons: 4 4 10 f MAX ( kHz ) = ----------------------Q GE ( nC ) Fig. 6 shows the maximum rating for the output charge per pulse for different gate resistors. SKHI 22 A/B maximum rating for output charge per pulse 4,50 4,00 Fig. 5 Typical values for external components Fig. 3 shows the possible interlocking times between output1 and output2. Interlocking times are adjusted by connecting the terminals TDT1 (P5), TDT2 (P9) and SELECT (P6) either to earth/ GND (P7 and P14) according to the required function or by leaving them open. A typical interlocking time value is 3,25 s (P9 = GND; P5 and P6 open). For SKHI 22A / 21A the terminals TDT1 (P5) and SELECT (P6) are not existing. The interlocking time has been fixed to 3,25 s and may only be increased to 4,25 s by connecting TDT2 (P9) to VS (P13). ATTENTION: If the terminals TDT1 (P5), TDT2 (P9) and SELECT (P6) are not connected, eventually connected track on PC-board may not be longer than 20 mm in order to avoid interferences.

Voltages higher than VS + 0,3 V or below - 0,3 V may destroy these inputs. Therefore, control signal over-voltages exceeding the above values have to be avoided. Please provide for static discharge protection during handling. As long as the hybrid driver is not completely assembled, the input terminals have to be short-circuited. Driver Electronic - PCB Drivers 8 Persons working with CMOS-devices have to wear a grounded bracelet. Any synthetic floor coverings must not be statically chargeable. Even during transportation the input terminals have to be short-circuited using, for example, conductive rubber. Worktables have to be grounded. The same safety requirements apply to MOSFET- and IGBT-modules! The connecting leads between hybrid driver and the power module should be as short as possible, the driver leads should be twisted. Any parasitic inductances within the DC-link have to be minimized. Over-voltages may be absorbed by C- or RCD-snubbers between the main terminals for PLUS and MINUS of the power module. When first operating a newly developed circuit, SEMIKRON recommends to apply low collector voltage and load current in the beginning and to increase these values gradually, observing the turn-off behaviour of the free-wheeling diode and the turn-off voltage spikes generated accross the IGBT. An oscillographic control will be necessary. In addition to that the case temperature of the module has to be monitored. When the circuit works correctly under rated operation conditions, short-circuit testing may be done, starting again with low collector voltage. It is important to feed any errors back to the control circuit and to switch off the device immediately in such events. Repeated turn-on of the IGBT into a short circuit with a high frequency may destroy the device. Mechanical fixing on PCB: In applications with mechanical vibrations do not use a ty-rap for fixing the driver, but - after soldering and testing - apply special glue. Recommended types: CIBA GEIGY XP 5090 + 5091; PACTAN 5011; WACKER A33 (ivory) or N199 (transparent), applied around the case edge (forms a concave mould). The housing may not be pressed on the PCB; do not twist the PCB with the driver soldered on, otherwise the internal ceramics may crack. The driver is not suitable for big PCBs. Proven, within the scope of the product qualification, was the use of the driver with the printed circuit board SKPC 2006 ( L x B x H = 97,0 x 67,5 x 1,5 mm). During the test, the driver was stuck with glue on the printed circuit board. Based on this information the technical conclusion arises, that in an application with big printed circuit boards, this board must be supported and reinforced in the area of the driver. If a PCB is directly plugged to IGBT modules, the PCB has to be fixed to the heat sink by thread bolts. The temperature of the solder must not exceed 265C, and solder time must not exceed 4 seconds. The ambient temperature must not exceed the specified maximum storage temperature of the driver. The driver is not suited for hot air reflow or infrared reflow soldering processes. Storage hints - Store driver only in original packaging. - Avoid contamination of driver's surface during storage, handling and processing. - Please use the driver within one year after driver manufacturing date. The manufacturing date is marked on the driver. Usage of the driver beyond this shelf life could compromise product long term reliability. - Further storage conditions are indicated in the data sheet Environmental conditions The driver is type tested under the environmental conditions below.
