Built-in circuit maker Energy Integrations has launched a brand new line of gate-driver boards designed for electrical buses and vehicles in addition to electrical development and agricultural gear.
The SCALE EV gate-driver boards are rated at 1,200 V for 400 V and 800 V methods. Every is composed of two strengthened gate-drive channels, related energy provides and monitoring telemetry.
The primary product within the line is the 2SP0215F2Q0C, which is designed for the EconoDUAL 900 A, 1,200 V IGBT and half-bridge module. Samples can be found now.
Housed in an ASIC package deal, SCALE EV gate-driver boards embrace 11.4 mm of creepage and clearance, and microcontroller enter and output strains which are related by two impartial on-board connectors.
SCALE EV merchandise are ASIL B and C licensed.
“Gate-driver design is crucial to each the efficiency and reliability of electrical autos,” stated Director of Automotive Enterprise Improvement Peter Vaughan. “By providing a product [for which] the event, testing and qualification, plus ASIL certification, have already been accomplished, we’re dramatically decreasing improvement time and price.”
The SCALE EV merchandise assist SiC MOSFETS and silicon IGBTs, and embrace many protections, together with energetic short-circuit, energetic discharge of the related DC-link capacitor, overvoltage limitation by energetic gate management, gate monitoring, sign transmission monitoring, on-chip temperature monitoring and short-circuit and overcurrent responses which are lower than one microsecond for SiC MOSFETS and fewer than three microseconds for IGBTs.
The corporate says a full manufacturing of the primary product within the line shall be launched within the fourth quarter of 2022.
