Original Press Release:
Richardson RFPD Announces Availability of Two New Gate Driver Reference Design Boards from Power Integrations
General-purpose base board for SCALE™-iDriver SID1182K available with and without booster stage
Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two new gate driver reference design boards from Power Integrations, Inc.
The new general-purpose base boards are for Power Integrations’ SCALE™-iDriver SID1182K, a galvanically-isolated single-channel gate driver IC device with 8 A output current that enables the product to drive devices up to 450 A (typical) without requiring any additional active components. For gate drive requirements that exceed the stand-alone capability of the SID1182K, an external amplifier (booster) may be added.
The new reference boards are available with (RDHP-1526) and without (RDHP-1608) the booster stage. The boards are suitable for IBGT power modules in various housings and up to 800 V DC-link voltage and include electrical interfaces. RDHP-1526 features a 15 A booster stage and basic active clamping. RDHP-1608 provides a low component count with an 8 A output current. Both reference designs include short-circuit detection with advanced soft shutdown.
Additional features of the RDHP-1526 and RDHP-1608 include:
- 0 V / 5 V command input logic
- 0 V / 5 V status output logic
- Minimum pulse suppression
- 5 V supply voltage
- Single PCB solution with soldered-in gate driver IC
