Filter selection, jitter and propagation delay time | Primary side
Due to SEMIKRON’s highly-integrated mixed signal ASICs the SKYPER
42 LJ R offers the freedom to select
filter type, jitter and propagation delay time to meet specific requirements of the application.
The filter time can be set via the configuration pin CFG_FLT. Connecting the CFG_FLT pin to the PWR_VS
pin enables the digital filter employing very low tolerances over the full temperature range.
Especially when using the driver in parallel operation the absolute deviation of the signal propagation delay
time from the input to the output is a key parameter. Depending on the settings made the SKYPER
R driver provides a very low jitter of typically ±3ns. Therefore the analogue filter has to be enabled and the
driver’s internal dead time generator has to be set to inactive. The dead time generator is inactive, if either
the interlock feature is disabled via the CFG_IDT pin or the dead time of the applied pulse pattern is longer
than 2µs. A detailed description of the interlock function and the dead time generation could be found in
chapter 5.2.

Error output | Primary side
The SKYPER
42 LJ R reports any detected error event at the nERR_OUT pin by pulling it to low-level. The
error output is an open collector output and requires an external pull-up resistor (R
nERR_OUT
). The
recommended value of the pull-up resistor is in the range of
𝑃𝑊𝑅_𝑉𝑆 𝐼
𝑚𝑎𝑥,𝑛𝐸𝑅𝑅_𝑂𝑈𝑇
≤ 𝑅
𝑛𝐸𝑅𝑅_𝑂𝑈𝑇
⁄
≤ 10𝑘Ω
.
As long as the driver has not been reset the error output will be at low-level.
A detailed description, how to reset the driver to end the error state and resume to operation is described
in chapter 5.1.
