Please note:
All values in this technical explanation are typical values. Typical values are the average values expected in large quantities and are provided for information purposes only. These values can and do vary in different applications. All operating parameters should be validated by the user’s technical experts for each application.

Application and Handling Instructions

  • Please provide static discharge protection during handling. As long as the hybrid driver is not completely assembled, the input terminals have to be short-circuited. Persons working with 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.
  • Any parasitic inductances within the DC-link have to be minimized. Over-voltages may be absorbed by C- or RCD-snubber networks between main terminals for PLUS and MINUS of the power module.
  • When first operating a newly developed circuit, SEMIKRON recommends applying low collector voltage and load current in the beginning and increasing these values gradually, observing the turn-off behavior of the free-wheeling diode and the turn-off voltage spikes generated across the IGBT. An oscillographic control will be necessary. Additionally, 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 failure events. Repeated turn-on of the IGBT into a short circuit with a high frequency may destroy the device.
  • The inputs of the hybrid driver are sensitive to over-voltage. Voltages higher than VS +0,3V or below -0,3V may destroy these inputs. Therefore, control signal over-voltages exceeding the above values have to be avoided.
  • The connecting leads between the hybrid driver and the power module should be as short as possible (max. 20cm), and the driver leads should be twisted.

General Description

The Board 3s SKYPER® 32PRO R is an adaptor board for the IGBT module SEMiX® 3s (spring contact version). The board can be customized allowing adaptation and optimization to the used SEMiX® Module. The switching characteristic of the IGBT can be influenced through user settings, e.g. changing turn-on and turn-off speed by variation of RGon and RGoff. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the monitoring level and blanking time for the DSCP (see Technical Explanations SKYPER® 32PRO R).

Please note:
This technical explanation is based on the Technical Explanations for SKYPER® 32PRO R. Please read the Technical Explanations for SKYPER® 32 PRO R before using the Adaptor Board.

Signal IF_CMN_nHALT
The Halt Logic Signals PRIM_HALT_IN and PRIM_HALT_OUT of the driver core are coupled to one bidirectional signal (IF_CMN_nHALT) with dominant recessive behavior. IF_CMN_nHALT shows the driver core status. When IF_CMN_nHALT is HIGH (recessive), the driver core is ready to operate. When IF_CMN_nHALT is LOW (dominant), the driver core is disabled / not ready to operate because of e. g. detected failure or driver core system start.
A controller can hold with the IF_CMN_nHALT signal the driver core in a safe state (e.g. during a start-up of a system or gathered failure signal of other hardware) or generate a coeval release of the paralleled driver. Furthermore, paralleled drivers can send and receive IF_CMN_nHALT signals among each other by using a single-wire bus.

Temperature Signal

The temperature sensor inside the SEMiX® module is directly connected to contacting points T1 and T2. For details on the temperature sensor, see Modules Explanations SEMiX®.

Safety Warnings:
The contacting points T1 and T2 are not electrically isolated. Due to the high voltage that may be present at the contacting points T1 and T2, some care must be taken to avoid accidents. There is no cover or potential isolation that protects the high-voltage sections/wires from accidental human contact.

Please note:
If the contacting points T1 and T2 are used for the adaptor of the temperature sensor, the Over Temperature Protection Circuit must be disabled by taking out the resistors R175, R178, and R179.

Over Temperature Protection Circuit (OTP)
The external error input SEC_TOP_ERR_IN on the secondary side (high potential) of the driver core is used for an over-temperature protection circuit to place the gate driver into halt mode.

Dimensioning OTP 

  1. Define an over-temperature trip level according to the application.
  2. Calculate the nominal ohmic resistance value of the temperature sensor at the defined trip level (see “Modules – Explanations – SEMiX®” on the SEMiX® product overview page at http://www.semikron.com).
  3. The trip level on the adapter board is set with R172 by using the calculated resistance value.
    • Factory setting R172: not equipped
    • If no resistor is used, a failure signal is generated.

Mounting

Mounting Notes
The electrical connections between the adaptor board and SEMiX® are realized via spring contacts integrated into SEMiX® power modules and via landing pads on the bottom side of the adaptor board.

Figure 6: Adaptor Board & Driver Core Mounting

SKYPER-32PRO-R-Semikron-Board-Fig- (7)

  1. Soldering of components (e.g. RGon, RGoff, etc.) on adapter board.
  2. Adaptor Board has to be fixed to the SEMiX® module (see “Mounting Instruction and Application Notes for SEMiX® IGBT modules” on the SEMiX® product overview page at http://www.semikron.com).
  3. Insert the driver core into the box connector on the adaptor board.
  • The connection between the driver core and the adaptor board should be mechanically reinforced by using support posts. The posts have to be spaced between the driver core and the adaptor board.
  • The product information of suitable support posts and distributor contact information is available at e.g. http://www.richco-inc.com (e.g. part number DLMSPM-8-01, LCBST-8-01).
