Short Description

The low-cost SCALE™-2+ dual-driver core 2SC0108T2G0-17 (Connector pin length of 3.1mm, suitable for PCB

thickness of 2mm; increased EMI capability; SSD implemented; lead free) / 2SC0108T2G0C-17 (Coated version

using ELPEGUARD SL 1307 FLZ/2 from Lackwerke Peters) combines unrivalled compactness with broad

applicability. The driver is designed for universal applications requiring high reliability. The 2SC0108T2G0(C)-

17 drives all usual IGBT modules up to 600A/1200V or 450A/1700V. The embedded paralleling capability

allows easy inverter design covering higher power ratings. Multi-level topologies are also supported.

The 2SC0108T2G0(C)-17 is the most compact driver core available for industrial applications, with a footprint

of only 45 x 34.3mm and an insertion height of max. 16mm. It allows even the most restricted insertion

spaces to be efficiently used. Compared with conventional drivers, the highly integrated SCALE-2+ chipset

allows about 85% of components to be dispensed with. This advantage is impressively reflected in increased

reliability at simultaneously minimized cost.

The 2SC0108T2G0(C)-17 combines a complete two-channel driver core with all components required for

driving, such as an isolated DC/DC converter, short-circuit protection, Soft Shut Down (SSD) as well as supply

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

secondary channel.

An output current of 8A and 1W drive power is available per channel, making the 2SC0108T2G0(C)-17 an ideal

driver platform for universal usage in small and medium power applications. The driver provides a gate voltage

swing of +15V/–8V. 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 in even harsh industrial applications.
