For gate drive requirements that exceed the stand-alone capability of the SID1182K, an external amplifier (booster) may be added.
The new reference boards are available with (RDHP-1526) and without (RDHP-1608) the booster stage.
The boards are suitable for IBGT power modules in various housings and up to 800V DC-link voltage and include electrical interfaces.
RDHP-1526 features a 15A booster stage and basic active clamping.
RDHP-1608 provides a low component count with an 8A output current.
Both reference designs include short-circuit detection with advanced soft shutdown.
Additional features of the RDHP-1526 and RDHP-1608 include:
- 0 V / 5 V command input logic
- 0 V / 5 V status output logic
- Minimum pulse suppression
- 5 V supply voltage
- Single PCB solution with soldered-in gate driver IC
