Preliminary Data Sheet
Compact, high-performance, plug-and-play single-channel IGBT driver based
on SCALE™-2 technology for individual and parallel-connected modules in
2-level, 3-level and multilevel converter topologies
Abstract
The SCALE™-2 plug-and-play driver 1SP0635x2xx-12 is a compact single-channel intelligent gate driver
designed for 1200V 130x140mm and 190x140mm IGBT modules. The master driver 1SP0635x2Mx-12 features
a fiber-optic interface with a built-in isolated DC/DC power supply. It can be used as stand-alone driver or in
conjunction with up to three 1SP0635D2Sx-12 slaves to drive up to four parallel-connected IGBT modules.
The turn-on and turn-off gate resistors as well as the auxiliary gate capacitor are not assembled
in order to provide maximum flexibility. They must be assembled by the user before start of
operation. Please refer to the paragraph on “Gate Resistor Assembly” for the recommended values.

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
The recommended transmitter current at the host controller is 20mA. A higher current may increase
jitter or delay at turn-off.
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.
This refers to the manufacturer ordering number, see www.igbt-driver.com/go/ext_erni. The
customer-side connector as well as cables with different lengths can be supplied by CONCEPT. Refer
to the “Description & Application Manual for 1SP0635 SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers” for more information.

IGBT Drivers” for more information.
If the specified value is exceeded, this indicates a driver overload. It should be noted that the driver is
not protected against overload.
The given power can only be fully exploited without slaves 1SP0635D2Sx (no parallel connection of
IGBT modules). If the specified value is exceeded, this indicates a driver overload. It should be noted
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.
The given power can be fully exploited with slaves 1SP0635D2Sx (parallel connection of IGBT
modules). If the specified value is exceeded, this indicates a driver overload. It should be noted 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. Note that the DC/DC converter on the master
1SP0635x2Mx is dimensioned to supply the master as well as three connected slaves 1SP0635D2Sx at
full load.
The gate current is limited by the gate resistors located on the driver.
HiPot testing (= dielectric testing) must generally be restricted to suitable components. This gate
driver is suited for HiPot testing. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to limit the testing time to
1s slots. Excessive HiPot testing may lead to insulation degradation.
This limit is due to active clamping under switching conditions. Refer to the “Description & Application
Manual for 1SP0635 SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers”.
Due to the Dynamic Active Advanced Clamping Function (DA2C) implemented on the driver, the DClink voltage can be increased in the off-state condition (e.g. after emergency shut-down). This value is
only valid when the IGBTs are in the off state (not switching). The time during which the voltage can
be applied should be limited to short periods (< 60 seconds). Refer to the “Description & Application
Manual for 1SP0635 SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers”.
The maximum dynamic voltage between auxiliary emitters of parallel-connected drivers due to
asymmetrical operation at turn-on and turn-off must be limited to the given value.
Maximum allowed rate of change of auxiliary emitter voltage of parallel connected drivers. This
specification guarantees that the drive information will be transferred reliably even with high rate of
change of auxiliary emitter voltages (asymmetrical operation).
Dynamic voltages between auxiliary emitters of parallel connected drivers at turn-on and turn-off lead
to equalizing currents over the X2 or X3 bus. The peak and RMS values of the resulting current must
be limited to the given value.
Undervoltage monitoring of the secondary-side supply voltage (Viso to Vee and Vee to COM which
correspond with the approximate turn-on and turn-off gate-emitter voltages). If the corresponding
voltage drops below this limit on 1SP0635x2Mx (masters), all paralleled IGBTs (master and slaves) are
switched off and a fault is transmitted to the status output. If the corresponding voltage drops below
this limit on 1SP0635D2Sx (slaves), the corresponding IGBT is switched off. A fault will be generated
by the gate-monitoring function on the master which will turn off all paralleled IGBTs after the
corresponding delay.
The mean value V GE,mean of all gate voltages (master and all slaves) is filtered and compared to the
given values at turn-on and turn-off. If the specified values are exceeded (V GE,mean V GE,off,max at turn-off) after the given filter delay, the driver turns off all parallelconnected IGBTs and a fault is transmitted to the status output.
A dynamic Vce protection is implemented on the driver. The maximum allowed Vce voltage at turn-on
is dynamically adjusted in order to better fit the IGBT characteristics at turn-on. At the end of the
turn-on process, the given static value applies.
The resulting pulse width of the direct output of the gate drive unit for short-circuit type I (excluding
the delay of the gate resistors) is the sum of the response time plus the delay to IGBT turn-off.
The turn-off event of the IGBT is delayed by the specified time after the response time.
Including the delay of the external fiber-optic links (cable length: 1m). 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 resistors).
Output rise and fall times are measured between 10% and 90% of the nominal output swing. The
values are given for the driver side of the gate resistors with 2Ω/1uF load. The time constant of the

output load in conjunction with the present gate resistors leads to an additional delay at their load
side.
Delay of external fiber-optic links. Measured from the driver secondary side (ASIC output) to the
optical receiver on the host controller.
Measured on the host side. The fault status on the secondary side is automatically reset after the
specified time.
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.
The gate resistors and the auxiliary gate capacitor are not assembled on this IGBT gate driver. They
must be assembled by the user according to the paragraph on “Gate Resistor Assembly”.
The driver secondary side voltage is split into two distinct voltages on the driver. The first one is the
turn-on voltage which is regulated at about 15V. The difference between the total secondary side
voltage and the turn-on voltage is the turn-off voltage which is not regulated and mainly dependent
on the driver input voltage VDC and the DC/DC converter power.
Partial discharge measurement is performed in accordance with IEC 60270.
Clearance and creepage distances are designed according to IEC 60077-1. Refer to the “Description &
Application Manual for 1SP0635 SCALE-2 IGBT Drivers” for more information.
The fault status is set as long as the gate monitoring fault is present. The given value applies if the
driver goes from the “off state” to the “on state” and the gate-emitter voltage of one or more parallel
connected drivers does not turn on. If the driver goes from the “on state” to the “off state” and the
gate-emitter voltage of one or more parallel connected drivers does not turn off, the fault status is
applied as long as the gate monitoring fault is present.
The maximum switching frequency is not defined, as it depends on the IGBT module used. Please
consult the corresponding driver data sheet for more information.
