Footnotes to the key data

1) 

 Supply voltages higher than specified can lead to the destruction of the driver and protection circuits on the output side. The gate-emitter voltage tracks with the supply voltage (not regulated by the gate drive unit). The recommended DC/DC power supply ISO3116I with high voltage isolation capability is a suitable separate unit.

2) Static power consumption of the gate driver.
3)  If the specified power consumption of the gate driver is exceeded at average, this indicates an overload of the gate driver and the external DC/DC power supply ISO3116I.
4)  Under-voltage monitoring of supply voltage of the gate driver. For a voltage lower than that limit, the power modules are switched off.
5)  This limit is due to active clamping. Refer to "Description and Application Manual for 1SD210F2 SCALE High Voltage IGBT Drivers".
6)  Pulswidth of the direct output of the gate drive unit (not covering the delay of the gate resistors).
7)  Duration of blocking the command input (keeping the gate driver and the IGBT in off-state) after fault detection, i.e. power supply undervoltage lock out, or - only at 2-level mode - short circuit detection (For three/multilevel mode, turn-off under short-circuit condition is managed by the host controller).
8)  The gate current is limited by on-board gate resistors.
9)  Refers to the direct output of the gate drive unit (not covering the delay of the gate resistors).
10)  Including the delay of external fiber optic links. Measured from turn-on transition at direct output of the gate drive unit (not covering the delay of the gate resistors) to the transition of status signal at the host controller side optical receiver.
11)  Application-specific self-heating of gate drivers and IGBT modules, especially at high switching frequency, must be taken into account. Commonly, the switching frequency is limited due to switching losses of the IGBT modules. Because CONCEPT cannot predict how the drivers will be incorporated in the user's application, no binding recommended value for self-heating and thus for the maximum useable output power can be made. So, it is recommended to check the gate driver's ambient temperature within the system.
12)  Including the delay of external fiber optic links. Measured from the transition of turn-on or turn-off command at the host controller side optical transmitter to direct output of the gate drive unit (not covering the delay of the gate resistors).
13)  Including the delay of external fiber optic links. Measured from the transition of turn-on or turn-off command at the host controller side optical transmitter to the transition of acknowledge signal at the host controller side optical receiver.
14)  The transceivers required at the host controller side are not delivered with the gate driver. It is recommended to use the same types as used in the gate driver. For product information refer to www.semiconductor.agilent.com
15)  Connector and cable to the DC/DC power supply are not delivered with the gate driver, but via FCI inc. Recommended crimp contact housing: order code 65039-032; recommended crimp contacts: 5 pcs, order code 48236-002. Refer to www.fciconnect.com
16)  The recommended transmitter current at the host controller is 30-35mA, suitable for plastic optic fiber with a length of less than 2.5 meters. Higher current may increase jitter or delay at turn-off.
17)  The transmitter current at the gate driver is 30-35mA.
18)  The delay from turn-on transition at direct output of the gate drive unit to the turn-on of the IGBT amounts to about 1.5µs (due to gate resistors). But turn-off at short-circuit happens without delay; so the real short-circuit time is 1.5µs less than the response time.
19)  GND of power supply is not the same electrical potential as the aux. emitter terminal of the IGBT and they must never be connected together.
 20 This value is the minimum recommended turn-on gate resistance with a DC-link stray inductance of Lσ=280nH. The turn-on gate resistance can be reduced with lower DC-link stray inductance.
