Gate Driver

Hybrid Integrated Circuit

For Driving IGBT Modules

Description:

M57161L-01 is a hybrid integrated

circuit designed for driving Powerex

F-Series IGBT modules. This gate

driver converts logic level control

signals into high current gate drive

withsuitableonand

offbias

voltages. Electrical isolation of the

input control signal is provided by an

integrated high-speed optocoupler.

A built-in isolated DC-DC converter

supplies gate drive power.

The

driver

has

short-circuit

and

undervoltage

protection

and

provides a fault status feedback

signal.

Features:

High output current (±) 7A peak

Isolated

DC-DC

converter

provides +15.5V/-5V drive

High-speed optocoupler isolates

input signal

Short-circuit and undervoltage

protection

Application:

Gate drive for IGBT modules with

internal RTC circuit in motor drive,

UPS, welder, etc.

Recommended Modules:

Powerex 600V and 1200V
