Semikron IGBT Drivers
Semikron offers two different types of IGBT driver families for any application. Driver cores from the SKHI and SKYPER family can be optimised using adapter boards for each module type. Drivers such as SKYPER Prime offer a fully qualified plug and play solution, saving customers time and costs in application.
The SKYPER family with 1W to 10W output power per channel covers the whole range of inverters from 30kW to 2MW. The high integration level of Semikron’s new ASIC chipset ensures safe IGBT gate control throughout the entire lifecycle. Short circuits are managed very fast by separate error channels.
The mixed signal ASICs guarantee minimum tolerances over the full temperature range. MLI or the paralleled IGBT topologies are managed thanks to adjustable error management. With an optimised interface and and adjustable filter settings, the SKYPER family operates safely in noisy environments. Semikron’s adapter boards enable a wide range of inverter platforms to be built using various types of IGBT modules.
The latest IGBT driver highlights are the SKYPER 12 driver core and the plug and play driver SKYPER Prime that features electrical and optical interfaces. SKYER 12 is the latest driver core which delivers 20A output but is smaller than a matchbox. This driver is the perfect solution for anything from simple drives to ambitious interleaved applications because of it’s robustness. The SKYPER Prime offers integrated insulated DC link and temperature measurement and can help customers reduce system costs significantly.

IXYS IGBT & MOSFET Gate Drivers
IXYS offers a wide range of low-side, high-side & low-side and optically isolated IGBT and MOSFET Gate Drivers for a large number of applications. The low-side gate drivers are ultra fast and are high current IGBT and MOSFET gate drivers that are optimised for high efficiency performance in motor drive and power conversion applications.
The high-side gate drivers use a common mode design technique to provide stable operation in high dV/dt noise environments. The high-side & low-side gate drivers are configured with independent high-side and low-side referenced output channels which can both source and sink up to 2A. The optically isolated gate drivers feature infrared light emitting diodes with photovoltaic integrated circuits to provide voltage for turn-on of discrete MOSFETs and feature a gate-clamping circuit to provide fast turn-off.

High-side
The IXYS IX2127 high-side MOSFET and IGBT gate driver can operate at up to 600V. Common mode design techniques provide stable operation in high dV/dt noise environments.
The IX2127 works by detecting an over-current condition in the driven IGBT or MOSFET device and shuts down the drive to that device. The over-current shutdown is evident due to an open-drain output occurring. The gate driver output can source 250mA and sink 500mA, which is suitable for fluorescent lamp ballast, motor control, SMPS and various other converter drive topologies. The IX2127 is available in 8-pin DIP and 8-pin SOIC packages.
