SKYPER® IGBT Driver Core Module The SKYPER 42 R IGBT driver core constitutes an interface between IGBT modules and the controller. This core is a half-bridge driver with the basic functions built-in for driving, potential separation and protection. The SKYPER 42 R was developed for systems in the power range of 1 to 8 MVA.
When using Semikron IGBT driver cores an adapter board (RS 905-6059) is required between the IGBT module and the gate driver core. Two output channels
Up to 50μC (micro Coulomb) gate charge
Integrated potential-free power supply
Short Pulse Suppression (SPS)
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
Drive interlock (dead time) top / bottom (DT)
Dynamic Short Circuit Protection (DSCP) by VCE monitoring and direct switch-off
Shut Down Input (SDI)
Failure Management
Expandable by External Boost Capacitors (BC)
DC bus voltage up to 1200V
SKYPER 42 R can be plugged or soldered on the SKYPER® IGBT adaptor board
