Versatile short-circuit protection for power electronics systems: Infineon presents EiceDRIVER™ F3 Enhanced

2022-02-22 | 返回

Munich, Germany – 22 February, 2022 – The highest possible system efficiency is a key requirement for modern power electronics which is driving the development of increasingly higher power densities. However, high system values are at stake should short-circuit events occur. To prevent this and enable systems with the best protection, Infineon Technologies AG is expanding its portfolio of isolated EiceDRIVER™ Enhanced gate drivers with the F3 Enhanced (1ED332x) family. The gate driver family implements reliable and versatile protection to prevent destructive short-circuit events. This allows both conventional power switches, such as IGBTs, as well as CoolSIC™ wide-bandgap devices to be protected. The driver family is designed for industrial drives,> solar systems,> electric vehicle charging,> energy storage systems, commercial air conditioning and other applications.

The EiceDRIVER F3 Enhanced is housed in a 300 mil wide-body DSO 16 package with a large creepage distance of 8 mm. The single-channel isolated gate driver offers an exceptional high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of up to 300 kV/us and typical output currents of up to 8.5 A. The tight propagation delay matching allows minimum deadtime improving system efficiency and decreasing harmonic distortion. The driver family provides short-circuit clamping and active shutdown as well as an active Miller clamp.

The devices are designed for wide power ranges and support 40 V absolute maximum output voltage. In addition, the driver family is suitable for operation at high ambient temperatures and in fast switching applications, making it perfect for rugged environments. As a result, it is ideally suited for conventional IGBTs, IGBT7 and silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs. Moreover, with its 2300 V capability, it supports power switches beyond 1200 V blocking voltage. UL 1577 and VDE 0884-11 (reinforced isolation) certifications ensure high application reliability and guarantee a long service life.
