Fully-UL certified; approved for Safe Torque Operation
BIEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
IGBT-driver manufacturer CT-Concept Technologie AG, a Power Integrations
company, has launched a new IGBT-driver core designed to suit inverters
operating in the power range from 10-75 kVA. The new dual-channel 2SC0106T
drivers simplify the design process and provide a cost-effective,
high-performance alternative to competing designs based on discrete
components and optocouplers.
CONCEPT’s
new IGBT drivers are based on the company’s proprietary SCALE-2
ASIC technology, which incorporates all required functions: driving,
monitoring, status acknowledgement, isolated voltage supply (DC/DC
converters) and isolation of all signals between the control and power
sections. This saves space, improves reliability, increases performance
and reduces design time. The 2SC0106T
drives 600 V to 1200 V IGBTs with collector currents up to 450 A,
switching at frequencies of up to 20 kHz.
Comments Michael Hornkamp, director of technical marketing at CONCEPT:
"The 2SC0106T
driver is UL-recognized under E321757 for UL508C and E346491 for
UL60950-1 and approved for Safe Torque Operation (STO), making it ideal
for servo drives used in industrial applications, UPS and solar
inverters."
