It enables IGBTs to be paralleled using one driver core to reduce system size and increase reliability through reducing component count. The core is based on the company’s SCALE-2 chipset with a transformer design allows test voltages up to 10.4kVRMS and a partial discharge extinction voltage of 7800V peak.
The cores, unveiled in Nuremberg, join the company’s 2SC0535T 3.3kV and 2SC0635T 4.5kV dual gate driver cores.
