Preliminary Description & Application Manual
Single-Channel Cost-Effective Driver Core for IGBTs up to 4500V and 6500V
Abstract
The 1SC0450E2B0 single-channel SCALE™-2 driver core combines unrivalled compactness with broad
applicability and cost-effectiveness. It is designed for industrial and traction applications requiring high
reliability. The 1SC0450E2B0 drives all usual high-voltage IGBT modules up to 4500V and 6500V. Up to four
parallel-connected IGBT modules can be driven to cover higher power ratings. Multi-level topologies
involving 3300V or 4500V IGBTs with higher isolation requirements can also be easily supported by the
1SC0450E2B0.
The 1SC0450E2B0 supports maximal design flexibility as no fiber-optic links are assembled on the driver
board. Gate drive input and output signals are provided over dedicated electrical interface connectors.
The 1SC0450E2B0 is the most compact driver core in its voltage and power range, featuring a footprint of
only 60mm x 90mm and a maximum insertion height of 27.5mm. It allows even the most restricted insertion
spaces to be efficiently used.
