System Overview

The 6SP0235T are plug-and-play drivers based on the highly integrated SCALE-2 chipset developed by
CONCEPT /1/. This is a set of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that cover the main range of
functions needed to design intelligent gate drivers. The SCALE-2 driver chipset is a further development of the
proven SCALE technology /2/.

The basic topology of the 6SP0235T driver is shown in Fig. 2. The values for the gate resistors and other key
components can be found in the specific datasheets for a given IGBT module /3/.

The driver contains all necessary components for optimal and safe driving of the relevant IGBT module:
smallest gate resistors in order to minimize switching losses, gate clamping, active-clamping diodes
(overvoltage protection at turn-off), Vce monitoring (short-circuit protection), short-pulse suppression as well
as the input electrical connector X1. Moreover, it includes components for setting the turn-off trip level, the
response time and the dead time between both channels in half-bridge mode. Its plug-and-play capability
means that it is ready to operate immediately after mounting. The user needs invest no effort in designing or
adjusting the driver to a specific application.

The Six Steps to Success

The following steps point out the easy way to use 6SP0235T drivers in power converters:

1. Choose a suitable driver

When applying 6SP0235T drivers, you should note that they are specifically adapted to a particular type of
IGBT module.

The type designation of the driver consequently also includes a number corresponding to a specific IGBT
module (see “Ordering Information”).

These drivers are not valid for IGBT modules other than those specified. Incorrect use may result
in failure.

2. Attach the drivers to the IGBT modules

Any handling of IGBT modules or drivers is subject to the general
specifications for protecting electrostatic-sensitive devices according to
international standard IEC 60747-1, Chapter IX or European standard
EN 100015 (i.e. the workplace, tools, etc. must comply with these standards).

If these specifications are ignored, both IGBTs and drivers may be damaged.

The driver can be easily mounted onto an IGBT module by soldering and screwing the corresponding
terminals.

3. Connect the driver to the control electronics

Connect the driver plug X1 to your control electronics and supply the driver with a voltage of +15V.

4. Select the operating mode

The operating mode can be set with input MOD (interface X1: pin 17). For details, see page 11).

5. Check the driver function

Check the gate voltage: For the off-state, the nominal gate voltage is specified in the relevant data sheet /3/.
For the on-state, it is +15V. Also check the input current consumption of the driver without clock signals and
at the desired switching frequency.

These tests should be performed before installation, as the gate terminals may otherwise not be accessible.

Description and Application Manual

6. Set up and test the power stack

Before starting up the system, it is recommended that each IGBT module be checked separately under power­cycling conditions. It is usually sufficient to apply the single or double-pulse technique. CONCEPT specially
recommends users to check that the IGBT modules switch inside the SOA in the worst case condition, as this
strongly depends on the specific converter construction.

Even if only single IGBTs are tested, all the system’s gate drivers must be supplied with energy.
All the other IGBTs are then kept in the off state by applying negative gate voltages. This is
particularly important when switching the IGBTs under test.

The short-circuit behavior can also be verified at this point.

The system is then ready to start under real-world load conditions. This allows the thermal behavior of the
whole arrangement to be determined.

The system must be re-qualified over the entire specified range of temperature and load conditions.

CAUTION: All handling with high voltages involves risk to life.
It is imperative to comply with the respective safety

regulations!

6SP0235T

Description and Application Manual

Description of Interface X1

General

The interface X1 of the driver 6SP0235T is very simple and easy to use.

The driver has the following terminals:

 3 x power-supply terminals (but only one 15V power supply is needed)
 6 x drive signal inputs
 6 x status outputs (fault returns)
 1 x mode selection (half-bridge mode / direct mode)
 1 x input to set the blocking time
 3 x NTC-thermistor outputs

The driver is equipped with a 24-pin interface connector.

All inputs are ESD-protected. Moreover, all digital inputs have Schmitt-trigger characteristics.

VCC terminal

The driver has one VCC terminals on the interface connector to supply the primary side electronics.

VDC terminal

The driver has two VDC terminals on the interface connector to supply the DC-DC converters for the
secondary sides.

As the driver can deliver a total power of 6 x 2W = 12W, the maximum input current drawn from the +15V
supply is approx. 1A (total for VDC and VCC terminals).

All VCC and VDC terminals must be connected to a single +15V power supply. The driver limits the inrush
current at startup, and no external current limitation of the voltage source for VDC is needed. VDC and VCC
terminals are split into separate pins only for testing.

MOD (mode selection)

The MOD input allows the operating mode to be selected.

Direct mode

If the MOD input is not connected (floating), or connected to VCC, direct mode is selected. In this mode, there
is no interdependence between the two channels of one phase. Input INA_x (x is the phase number and can
be equal to 1, 2 or 3) directly influences the low-side IGBT while INB_x influences the high-side IGBT of the
corresponding phase. High level at an input (INA_x or INB_x) always results in turn-on of the corresponding
IGBT. This mode should be selected only when the dead times are generated by the control circuitry so that
each IGBT receives its own drive signal.

Caution: Synchronous or overlapping timing of both switches of a half-bridge basically shorts the DC link.

Page 10 INTELLIGENT POWER ELECTRONICS

6SP0235T

Target

Half-bridge mode

If the MOD input is low level (connected to GND), half-bridge mode is selected. In this mode, the inputs INA_x
and INB_x have the following functions: INA_x is the drive signal input while INB_x acts as the enable input of
the corresponding phase (see Fig. 7).

When input INB_x is low level, both channels are blocked. If it goes high, both channels are enabled and
follow the signal on the input INA_x. At the transition of INA_x from low to high, high-side IGBT turns off
immediately and the low-side IGBT turns on after a dead time. The dead time is set by a resistor on the
6SP0235T.

INA_x, INB_x (channel drive inputs, e.g. PWM)

INA_x and INB_x are basically drive inputs, but their function depends on the MOD input (see above).

15V logic-level signals should be applied at INA_x and INB_x.

SO1_x, SO2_x (status outputs)

The outputs SOx_x have open-drain transistors. When no fault condition is detected, the outputs have high
impedance. An internal current source of 500A pulls the SOx_x outputs to a voltage of about 4V when leaved
open. When a fault condition is detected in a channel, the corresponding status output SOx_x goes to low
(connected to GND).

All SOx_x outputs can be connected together to provide a common fault signal. However, it is recommended
to evaluate the status signals individually to allow fast and precise fault diagnosis.

The maximum SOx_x current in a fault condition should not exceed the value specified in the driver data
sheets /3/.

IGBT-Driver.com Page 11

6SP0235T

Description and Application Manual

How the status information is processed

a) A fault on the secondary side (detection of short-circuit of IGBT module or supply undervoltage) is

transmitted to the corresponding SOx_x output immediately. The corresponding SOx_x output is
automatically reset (returning to the high impedance state) after the blocking time Tb has elapsed (read
the relevant data sheet for timing information /3/).

b) A supply undervoltage on the primary side is indicated to both SOx_x outputs of a same phase at the

same time. Both SOx_x outputs are automatically reset (returning to a high impedance state) when the
undervoltage on the primary side disappears (read the relevant data sheet for timing information /3/).

TB (input for adjusting the blocking time)

The terminal TB allows the factory-set blocking time to be reduced by connecting an external resistor to GND
(see Fig. 5). The following equation calculates the necessary resistor R
in order to define the desired blocking time Tb (typical value):

NTC terminals

The driver has three non-insulated NTC-thermistor outputs on the interface. They are each connected via a
series resistor of 20 to the NTC thermistors of the IGBT module. Every NTC-thermistor output is protected
with a 24V transient voltage suppressor diode according to Fig. 8. NTC_C is the common pin for the three
NTC-thermistors.

How Do 6SP0235T SCALE-2 Drivers Work in Detail?

Overview

The 6SP0235T series of plug-and-play six-channel drivers are designed for HybridPACKTM 2 modules. All
drivers of the SCALE-2 driver family with an electrical interface are equipped with usual protection functions
such as Vce monitoring for short-circuit protection, operation inhibit after fault, supply-undervoltage shutdown
and status feedback.

Outstanding features of 6SP0235T SCALE-2 drivers are: compact size, simple mounting - directly onto the
IGBT module, advanced active-clamping function and short-pulse suppression. Active clamping describes an
active scheme designed to protect the IGBTs against overvoltage during turn-off. It is particularly relevant
when turning an IGBT off in cases of high DC-link voltage and collector current or short circuit.

6SP0235T

Description and Application Manual

Power supply and electrical isolation

The driver is equipped with a DC/DC converter to provide an electrically insulated power supply to the gate
driver circuitry. The signal isolation is realized with transformers. All transformers (DC/DC and signal
transformers) feature safe isolation to EN 50178 and IEC 60664-1, protection class II between primary side
and either secondary side (refer to the data sheets /3/).

Note that the driver needs a stabilized supply voltage.

Power-supply monitoring

The driver’s primary side as well as all secondary-side driver channels are equipped with a local undervoltage
monitoring circuit.

In case of a primary-side supply undervoltage, both IGBTs of a phase are driven with a negative gate voltage
to keep them in the off-state (both channels are blocked) and the fault is transmitted to both outputs SO1_x
and SO2_x until the fault disappears.

In case of a secondary-side supply undervoltage, the corresponding IGBT is driven with a negative gate
voltage to keep it in the off-state (the channel is blocked) and a fault condition is transmitted to the
corresponding SOx_x output. The SOx_x output is automatically reset (returning to a high impedance state)
after the blocking time.

Even in the case of a low power supply voltage, the driver provides a low-impedance path from the IGBT gate
to the emitter.

Within a half-bridge, it is advised not to operate the IGBTs with an IGBT driver in the event of a
low supply voltage. Otherwise, a high rate of increase of V

Dynamic behavior of IGBTs

The dynamic behavior of IGBT modules depends on the type and manufacturer due to the particular behavior
of the included IGBT and diode chips, the particular module construction and the distribution of internal gate
resistances and inductances. Note that different module types from the same manufacturer may also require a
specific gate-driver adaptation.

CONCEPT therefore supplies specific versions of SCALE-2 plug-and-play drivers adapted to the particular IGBT

module. These drivers must not be used with IGBT modules other than those for which they were

specified.

Turn-on of the IGBT / commutation of diode current

When a driver input goes high, the gate driver turns on the corresponding IGBT. The driver already includes
the gate resistors, which are matched to the relevant IGBT module.

The driver is optimized to achieve minimum switching losses for the case of relatively low inductances within
the power stack. It is recommended to check the commutation behavior within the final system assembly.

6SP0235T

Description and Application Manual

Turn-off of the IGBT

The IGBT is turned off when the corresponding input turns low. The gate resistors are determined by
CONCEPT and must not be altered.

Fast turn-off of the IGBT may cause overvoltage, which increases with DC-link voltage or load current. The
turn-off overvoltage can be approximated by:

where V

Most competing drivers are unable to limit the overvoltage in case of overload or short circuit. However, this is

Advanced active clamping

Active clamping is a technique designed to partially turn on the IGBT in case the collector-emitter voltage
exceeds a predefined threshold. The IGBT is then kept in linear operation. The basic circuit for active clamping
can be found in /4/.

Basic active-clamping topologies implement a single feedback path from the IGBT’s collector through transient
voltage suppressor devices (TVS) to the IGBT gate. The 6SP0235T SCALE-2 drivers support CONCEPT’s
advanced active clamping based on this principle: when active clamping is activated, the turn-off MOSFET of
the driver is switched off in order to improve the effectiveness of the active clamping and to reduce the losses
in the TVS. This feature is mainly integrated in the secondary-side ASIC. The circuitry used is shown in Fig. 9.

In comparison with other driving methods, active clamping allows enhanced utilization of the IGBT modules
during normal operation by increasing the switching speed and therefore reducing switching losses. The
overvoltage at fault-current turn-off is also managed by active clamping. For the maximum permitted DC-link
voltage, refer to the gate driver data sheets /3/.

Description and Application Manual

Parallel connection of 6SP0235T

The 6SP0235T are unsuitable for direct parallel connection, as the delay differences between drivers as well as
the jitter are too high due to the implemented short-pulse suppression.

Low-inductance layout

The active-clamping function should not lead anyone to forget about the inductances of the power stack. For
several reasons, it is still necessary to reduce the DC-link stray inductance to about 25nH with 6SP0235T plug­and-play drivers.
