The low-cost SCALE™-2 dual-driver core 2SC0108T2A0-17 combines unrivalled compactness with broad
applicability. The driver is designed for universal applications requiring high reliability. The 2SC0108T2A0-17
drives all usual IGBT modules up to 600A/1200V or 450A/1700V. The embedded paralleling capability allows
easy inverter design covering higher power ratings. Multi-level topologies are also supported.
The 2SC0108T2A0-17 is the most compact driver core available for industrial applications, with a footprint of
only 45 x 34.3mm and an insertion height of max. 16mm. It allows even the most restricted insertion spaces
to be efficiently used. Compared with conventional drivers, the highly integrated SCALE-2 chipset allows about
85% of components to be dispensed with. This advantage is impressively reflected in increased reliability at
simultaneously minimized cost.
The 2SC0108T2A0-17 combines a complete two-channel driver core with all components required for driving,
such as an isolated DC/DC converter, short-circuit protection as well as supply voltage monitoring. Each of the
two output channels is electrically isolated from the primary side and the other secondary channel.
An output current of 8A and 1W drive power is available per channel, making the 2SC0108T2A0-17 an ideal
driver platform for universal usage in small and medium power applications. The driver provides a gate voltage
swing of +15V/–8V. The turn-on voltage is regulated to maintain a stable 15V regardless of the output power
level.
