2SC0635T2A1-45 Preliminary Datasheet

Dual-Channel Cost-Effective SCALE™-2 IGBT Driver Core for 4500V IGBTs

Abstract

The SCALE™-2 dual-driver core 2SC0635T2A1-45 combines unrivalled compactness with broad applicability.

The driver is designed for universal applications requiring high reliability. The 2SC0635T2A1-45 drives all usual

high-power IGBT modules up to 4500V. Its embedded paralleling capability allows easy inverter design

covering higher power ratings. Multi-level topologies involving 1700V or 3300V IGBTs with higher isolation

requirements can also be easily supported by 2SC0635T2A1-45.

The 2SC0635T2A1-45 combines a complete two-channel driver core with all components required for driving,

such as an isolated DC/DC converter, short-circuit protection, Advanced Active Clamping as well as supply

voltage monitoring. Each of the two output channels is electrically isolated from the primary side and from the

other secondary channel.

An output current of 35A and 6W drive power is available per channel, making the 2SC0635T2A1-45 an ideal

driver platform for universal use in medium and high-power applications. The driver provides a gate voltage

swing of 15V/-10V. The turn-on voltage is regulated to maintain a stable 15V regardless of the output power

level.

Its outstanding EMC allows safe and reliable operation even in hard industrial applications.
