Failure Management
Any error detected will set the error latch and force the output PRIM_nERROR_OUT into HIGH state. Switching pulses from
the controller will be ignored. Connected and switched off IGBTs remain turned off. The switched off IGBTs remain turned
off. A reset of the latched error memory is only possible if no failure is present anymore and if the TOP and BOT input
signals are set to the LOW level for a period of tpERRRESET > 9µs.
The output PRIM_nERROR_OUT is an open collector output. For the error evaluation an external pull-up-resistor is
necessary pulled-up to the positive operation voltage of the control logic (LOW signal = no error present, wire break safety is
assured).
Open collector error transistor
Application hints
An external resistor to the controller logic high level is required. The
resistor has to be in the range of V / Imax < Rpull_up < 10kΩ.
PRIM_nERROR_OUT can operate to maximum 30V and can switch
a maximum of 15mA.
Example:
For V = +15V the needed resistor should be in the range
Rpull_up = (15V/15mA) … 10kΩ ⇒ 1kΩ… 10kΩ.
Please note:
The error output PRIM_ERROR_OUT is not short circuit proof.
Shut Down Input (SDI)
The shut down input / error input signal can gather error signals of other hardware components for switching off the IGBT
(input HIGH = no turn-off; input LOW = turn-off).
A LOW signal at PRIM_nERROR_IN will set the error latch and force the output PRIM_nERROR_OUT into HIGH state.
Switching pulses from the controller will be ignored. A reset of the latched error memory is only possible if no LOW signal at
PRIM_nERROR_IN is present anymore and if the TOP and BOT input signals are set to the LOW level for a period of
tpERRRESET > 9µs.
The SDI function can be disabled by no connection or connecting to 5V.
