MODEL: 2SC0535T2A0-332SC0535T2A1-33Power IntegrationsDual-Channel SCALE-2 Driver Core for 3.3 kV IGBTs, highest intergration level, compact, high-voltage, high-power, 35 A gate current and 2 x 5 W output powerThe 2SC0535T2 SCALE-2 dual-driver core combines compactness with broad applicability and cost efficiency. It is designed for high-reliability industrial and traction and drives all usual high-voltage IGBT modules up to 3300 V. Its embedded paralleling capability allows simple inverter design at higher power ratings. Multi-level topologies with 1700 V IGBTs with higher isolation requirements can also be easily supported. Advantages of the Technology The 2SC0535T is the most compact driver core in its voltage and power range, featuring a footprint of only 76.5 x 59.2 mm and an insertion height of 26 mm. The SCALE-2 chipset reduces the component count by up to 80% compared to conventional solutions, thus significantly increasing reliability and reducing costs.The 2SC0535T combines a complete two-channel driver core with all components required for driving, such as short-circuit protection, Advanced Active Clamping, an isolated DC/DC converter 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 35 A and 5 W drive power is available per channel, making the 2SC0535T a suitable choice for both high-power modules and parallel-connected IGBT modules. In dedicated IGBT mode, the driver provides a gate voltage swing of +15 V / -10V. The turn-on voltage is regulated to maintain a stable 15 V regardless of the output power level. Moreover, the temperature range has been widened to cover low temperature applications down to -55 °C.Excellent EMC performance allows safe and reliable operation in even harsh industrial conditions. The 2SC0535T driver has a creepage path of 44 mm and is suited for high-voltage IGBTs with blocking voltages up to 3.3 kV. The driver is UL-compliant and features clearance and creepage distances that enable it to meet pollution degree 2 and overvoltage category 2 according to EN-50178 and EN-50124. Therefore, the driver is an excellent choice for all traction and industrial applications. The 100%-tested, partial discharge-free transformer design guarantees safe operation over the expected lifetime. Driving Parallel-Connected IGBTsThe driver allows direct parallel connection of any number of IGBT modules with individual drivers. This new, pioneering concept makes it practical for the first time to build a converter series with discrete modules as well as parallel-connected IGBTs without any additional development effort.Summary of FeaturesUltra-compact dual-channel driverHighly integrated SCALE-2 chipsetGate current ±35A, 5W output power per channel15V/-10V gate drivingBlocking voltages up to 3300VSafe isolation to EN 50178 and EN 50124Short delay and low jitterInterface for 3.3V...15V logic levelUL compliantLead freeApplicationsTractionRailroad power suppliesLight rail vehiclesHVDCFlexible AC transmission systems(FACTS)Medium-voltage convertersIndustrial drivesWind-power convertersMedical applicationsSpecifications Specifications Max Switching Frequency100.00 kHzIGBT Voltage Class3300 VTechnologySCALE-2Product TypeDriver CorePower - Output/Channel (Max)7.50 WInterface TypeElectricalNumber of Channels2FootnoteDual-Channel, Lead Free Driver Core for 3300V IGBTsGate Peak Current (Max)+35 AProduct TypeBoardProduct Sub-TypeDriver CoreSupported Module TypeIGBTMain/PeripheralN/ASupported Topologies2-level Voltage Source3-level NP-Clamped - Type 13-level NP-Clamped - Type 2Multi-Level NP-ClampedProtection FeaturesAdv Active ClampingShort CircuitUVLO(Sec-side)UVLO(Pri-side)Driving ModeHalfbridgeDirect-IndependentLogic Input Voltage5Supply Voltage (Typ)15.00 VGate Turn-on Voltage+15.00 VGate Turn-off Voltage--10.80 VTime - Output Rise20.00 nsTime - Output Fall25.00 nsIsolation TechnologyGalvanicIsolation TypeReinforcedGate Peak Current (Min)-35   Product Details1SP0635 SCALE-2 Plug-and-Play drivers safely and reliably drive 130 x 140 mm and 190 x 140 mm high-voltage and high-power IGBT modules ranging from 1200 V to 3300 V. They are optimised for use in high-reliability applications in the rail industry.  The drivers operate in a master/slave configuraion that allows the safe operation of parallel-connected IGBT modules. The master (1SP0635V or 1SP0635S) can be used as a stand-alone driver without slave to drive a single IGBT module or it can be used with up to three slaves (1SP0635D) to drive up to four parallel-connected IGBT modules. The master drive is equipped with a fiber-optic interface and global fault management. In master/slave configurations, the slaves are connected to the master by a bus cable which distributes the common command signal and the secondary-side supply voltages from the DC/DC converter. 1SP0635 drivers are based on Power Integrations' highly-integrated SCALE-
