Description
BG1A is a fully isolated gate drive
circuit board designed for use
with high current single IGBT
modules. When the board is
populated, a VLA504 hybrid gate
driver supplies the gate drive with
complementary emitter follower
power booster to provide efficient
switching of modules rated up to
1200A. The hybrid gate drivers
also provide protection against
unexpected short circuit
conditions. Isolated control
power for the driver is supplied by
an onboard VLA106-15242
regulated DC/DC converter. The
fault feedback signal is also
optically isolated.
See application note “Hybrid
Circuits Simplify IGBT Module Gate
Drive” at www.pwrx.com.
