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 primary supply voltage (not regulated by the supply curcuitry or by the gate drive 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 DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter is not protected against overload.
4)  Under-voltage monitoring of power supply. For a voltage lower than that limit, the power modules are switched off. The voltage refers to the secondary supply voltage of the gate driver, which is approximately the same as voltage between VDC and GND.
5)  This limit is due to active clamping. Refer to "Description and Application Manual for 1SD536F2 SCALE High Power 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) Maximum continious or repeatedly-applied DC voltage or peak value of the repeatedly-applied AC voltage between the power supply inputs and all other terminals.
11)  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.
12)  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.
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 direct output of the gate drive unit (not covering the delay of the gate resistors).
14)  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.
15) The test voltage may be applied only once during one minute. It should be noted thet with this (strictly speaking obsolete) test method, some (minor) damage occurs to the isolation layers due to the partial discharge. Consequently, this test is not performed at CONCEPT as series test. In case of repeated isolation tests (e.g. module tests, equipment test, system test) the subsequent tests should be performed with a lower test voltage: the test voltage is reduced by 10% for each additional test. The more modern if elaborate partial-dscharge measurement is better suited than such methods as it is almost entirely non-destructive.
16)  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
17)  Customer-side connector is 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
18)  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.
19)  The transmitter current at the gate driver is 30-35mA.
20)  The recommended transmitter current at the host controller is 60mA
21)  The transmitter current at the gate driver is about 49mA.
22) With "yes" a di/dt-feedback redices the di/dt of the IGBT at turn-off. For more information refer to "Description and Application Manual for 1SD536F2 SCALE High Power IGBT Drivers". With "no" there is no di/dt-feedback implemented.
