2.2.2 Control Supply UV Protection
The UV protection is designed to prevent unexpected operating behavior as described in Table 2-2-4. Both
P-side, N-side of inverter part and Brake part have UV protecting function. However fault signal(Fo) output only
corresponds to N-side UV protection. Fo output continuously during UV state.
In addition, there is a noise filter (typ. 10
μs) integrated in the UV protection circuit to prevent instantaneous UV
erroneous trip. Therefore, the control signals are still transferred in the initial 10
μs after UV happened.

In this voltage range, built-in control IC may not work properly. Normal
operating of each protection function (UV, Fo output etc.) is not also assured.
Normally IGBT does not work. But external noise may cause DIPIPM
malfunction (turns ON), so DC-link voltage need to start up after control supply
starts-up.

IGBT can work. However, conducting loss and switching loss will increase, and
result extra temperature rise at this state,.

IGBT works. However, switching speed becomes fast and saturation current
becomes large at this state, increasing SC broken risk.

(note) Ripple Voltage Limitation of Control Supply
If high frequency noise superimposed to the control supply line, IC malfunction might happen and cause
DIPIPM erroneous operation. To avoid such problem happens, line ripple voltage should meet the
following specifications:
