Abstract :
The family of intelligent IPS-drivers was invented to drive high power IGBT modules with blocking voltages up to 6,500 V. They may be used use in industrial drives, power supplies, transportation, renewable energies as well as induction heating applications. The IPS- drivers decrease the switching losses and offer a reliable protection for high power IGBT modules. Varying the software enables an easy adaptation to specific applications. The main features of the IPS-drivers are: variable gate ON and OFF resistors, advanced desaturation and di/dt protections, active feedback clamping, high peak output current and output power, short signal transition times, and multiple soft shut down.
