SCALE Driver 6SD106EI Data Sheet Six-pack SCALE Driver 6SD106EI for IGBTs and Power MOSFETs Description The SCALE drivers from CONCEPT are based on a chip set that was developed specifically for the reliable driving and safe operation of IGBTs and power MOSFETs. The name SCALE is an acronym for the most outstanding properties of the SCALE series of drivers: SCALE = Scaleable, Compact, All purpose, Low cost and Easy to use. The SCALE driver is a winning project of the competition organized by Technology Center Switzerland 1998. And ABB Switzerland AG honored the development of the SCALE driver by distinguishing it as the best power electronics project in 1998. Product Highlights Applications Suitable for IGBTs and power MOSFETs Inverters Short circuit and overcurrent protection Motor drive technology Extremely reliable, long service life Traction High gate current of 6A Railroad power supplies Electrical isolation of 4000V Converters AC Electrically isolated status acknowledgement Power engineering Monitoring of power supply and self-monitoring Switched-mode power supplies Switching frequency DC to >100kHz Radiology and laser technology Duty cycle: 0... 100% DC/DC converter High dv/dt immunity, guaranteed >100,000V/s Research Complete with DC/DC converter RF generators and converters IGBT-Driver.com Page 1 SCALE Driver 6SD106EI Data Sheet Block Diagram Rth IGD Rg VDD Viso1 LDI Rth GND IGD Rg Viso2 VDC Viso1 PWM oscillator Viso2 GND Interface on Electrical Driver on Power- Electronic Level Isolation Power Level Semiconductor (external) SCALE Driver Module Fig. 1 Block diagram shows 2 channels (i.e. one third) of the 6SD106EI The block diagram shows two channels (i.e. one third) of the 6SD106EI six-pack driver.
