parameters should be validated by user’s technical experts for each application.
1. Introduction
The SKYPER 42 core constitutes an interface between IGBT modules and the controller. This core is a half
bridge driver. Basic functions for driving, potential separation and protection are integrated in the driver. Thus it
can be used to build up a driver solution for IGBT modules. SKYPER 42 R is developed for systems in the
power range of 1 MVA – 8 MVA.
Two output channels
Up to 50 µC gate charge
Integrated potential free power supply for the secondary side
Short Pulse Suppression (SPS)
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
Drive interlock (dead time) top / bottom (DT)
Dynamic Short Circuit Protection (DSCP) by V_CE monitoring and
direct switch off
Shut Down Input (SDI)
Failure Management
Expandable by External Boost Capacitors (BC)
DC bus voltage up to 1200V
