Introduction
1 Introduction
The Evaluation Driver Board 2ED100E12-F2 for EconoDUAL™3 modules as can be seen in Figure 1 and
the Evaluation Driver Board 6ED100E12-F2 for EconoPACK™+ modules, shown in Figure 2, were
developed to support customers during their first steps designing applications with these modules. The basic
version of each board is available from Infineon in small quantities. The properties of these parts are
described in the chapter 2.2 of this document whereas the remaining paragraphs provide information
intended to enable the customer to copy, modify and qualify the design for production, according to his
specific requirements.
The design of the 2ED100E12-F2 and the 6ED100E12-F2 was performed with respect to the environmental
conditions described as design target in this document. The requirements for leadfree reflow soldering have
been considered when components were selected. The design was tested as described in this
documentation but not qualified regarding manufacturing and operation in the whole operating ambient
temperature range or lifetime.
The boards provided by Infineon are subjected to functional testing only.
Due to their purpose Evaluation Boards are not subjected to the same procedures regarding Returned
Material Analysis (RMA), Process Change Notification (PCN) and Product Discontinuation (PD) as regular
products.

3 Application Note
The following chapter describes the board´s operation in evaluation setup. Please note that the following
paragraphs describe the circuits of the 2ED100E12-F2 which has been modified (compared to the last
revision of this AN) to drive IGBT4 modules and to reduce the susceptibility to erroneous triggering of the
Vcesat-detection. Same changes may also be applied to the 6ED100E12-12-F2, but layout and part list of this
board provided in chapter 7 still represent the initial design.
3.1 Power Supply

The 2ED100E12-F2 and the 6ED100E12-F2 have an integrated DC/DC converter for each leg, which
generates the required secondary isolated unsymmetrical supply voltage of +16 V / -8 V. Top and Bottom
driver voltages are independently generated by using one unipolar input voltage of 15 V. Additionally, the
power supply is protected against gate – emitter short circuit of the IGBTs. In case of DC/DC converter
overload, the output voltage drops. This Under Voltage Detection function insures gate voltages within
specified range. The fault is reported to the driver’s primary side.
3.2 Input logic – PWM signals

The Evaluation Driver Boards are dedicated for a half-bridge EconoDUAL™3 and sixpack EconoPACK™+
IGBT configuration, therefore it is necessary to connect two separate PWM signals or 6 separate PWM
signals. Individual signals for Top and Bottom IGBT are necessary if there is a half-bridge module or rather 6
dedicated signals if there is a sixpack module. The schematic for a single driver is depicted in Figure 6. The
signals need to have the correct dead time. Both Evaluation Driver Boards do not provide automatic dead
time generation and recommended minimum dead time tTD is 1 µs, provided gate resistors like suggested in
tables 5 and 7 are used. If larger gate resistors are used please refer to [1].
Figure 6 Schematic detail of the input circuit for a single driver.
The schematic in Figure 6 shows driver circuit with positive logic. IN+ is used as signal input whereas IN- is
used as enable signal. Therefore a +5 V signal on the IN+ input pin and a GND signal on the IN- input pin is
necessary to switch on the IGBT. To operate the whole circuit with negative logic the capacitors on the input
pins have to be exchanged. Otherwise this would cause an additional delay. IN+ will then operate as an
enable signal.

AN2008-02
Application Note
3.3 Maximum switching frequency

The IGBT switching frequency is limited by the available power and by PCB temperature. According to
theory the power losses generated in gate resistors are a function of gate charge, voltage step at the driver
output and switching frequency. The energy is dissipated mainly through the PCB and raises the
temperature around the gate resistors. When the available power of the DC/DC converter is not exceeded,
the limiting factor for the switching frequency is the absolute maximum temperature for the FR4 material. The
allowed operation temperature is 105 °C.
Generally the power losses generated in the gate resistors can be calculated according to formula (1):
Pdis = PRgext + PRg int = ∆Vout ⋅ fs ⋅ Qge (1)
In this formula f s resembles the switching frequency, ∆Vout represents the voltage step at the driver output
Pdis is the dissipated power, Qge is the IGBT gate charge value corresponding to -8/+16V operation. This
value can be approximately calculated from the datasheet value by multiplying by 0.8.
Most of the losses are shared between the internal – PRg int and the external – PRgext gate resistors.
Negligible losses are also in the driver IC itself. Due to the PCB temperature criteria the power dissipated in
external gate resistors PR gext is to be considerd for the thermal design. Temperatures can be calculated
takeing relevant thermal resistances of this part of the board into account.
Based on experimentally determined board temperatures the following thermal resistances have been
calculated using an equivalent circuit diagram as given in Figure 7:

Figure 7 Thermal equivalent circuit

AN2008-02
Application Note
Using these values and the equivalent circuit, it is possible to determine the maximum board temperature, if
the power losses of the external gate resistors, the maximum ambient temperature and the maximum
baseplate temperature are known:
RthB − G * (TBASE − TA ) R *R
TG = TA + + PRgext * thR − A thB − G
RthR − A + RthB − G RthR − A + RthB − G
The maximum switching frequency will be determined when either the maximum allowable board
temperature has been reached (105°C) or when the limit of power transmission of the DC/DC converter (1.5
W per channel) is exceeded.
3.4 Booster
Two complementary pairs of transistors are used to amplify the driver ICs signal. This allows driving IGBTs
that need more current than the driver IC can deliver. Two NPN transistors are used for switching the IGBT
on and two PNP transistors for switching the IGBT off. Resistors in the individual base connections ensure
proper parallel operation.
The transistors are dimensioned to have enough peak current to drive all 600 V and 1200 V EconoDUAL™3
and EconoPACK™+ modules. Peak current can be calculated like in formula (2):
∆Vout
I peak = (2)
RGint + RGext + RDriver
Figure 8 Booster
Gate resistors are connected in between booster stage and IGBT module gate connection. Suggested
values are provided in tables 5 and 7. For some modules the value for these resistors is 0 Ohm. In this case
just a jumper is required. If resistors are needed ensure that these resistors have a suitable rating for
repetitive pulse power to avoid degradation.
3.5 Short circuit protection and clamp function

The short circuit protection of the Evaluation Driver Board basically relies on the detection of a voltage level
higher as 9 V on the DESAT pin of the 1ED020I12-F driver IC and the implemented active clamp function.
Thanks to this operation mode, the collector-emitter overvoltage, which is a result of the stray inductance and

AN2008-02
Application Note
the collector current slope, is limited. Depending on the stray inductance, the current and the DC voltage the
overvoltage shoot during turn off changes.
Figure 9 shows the parts of the circuit needed for the desaturation function and the active clamping function.
Figure 9 Desaturation protection and active clamping diodes
In case of a short circuit the saturation voltage U GE will rise and the driver detects that there is a short circuit.
The IGBT has to be switched off. There will be an overvoltage shoot due to the stray inductance of the
module and the DC-Link. This overvoltage shoot has to be lower than the maximum IGBT blocking voltage.
Therefore the evaluation driver board contains an active clamping function whereby the clamping will raise
the voltage for the booster and also raise the voltage directly on the gate.
The typical turn-off waveform under short circuit condition and room temperature of a FF450R12ME4 module
without any additional function is shown in Figure 10a.Typical waveform under short circuit condition with
active clamp function is shown in 10b at room temperature.

3.6 Fault output

When a short circuit occurs, the voltage UCE is detected by the desaturation protection of the 1ED020I12-F
and the IGBT is switched off. The fault is reported to the primary side of the driver as long as there is no
reset signal applied to the driver. The /FAULT signal is active low, the according schematic can be seen in
Figure 11.

3.7 Temperature measurement

Based on the NTC built into both module types, the Driver Board offers IGBT base plate temperature
measurement in the range of -40 °C…150 °C. The Evaluation driver boards work with a Sigma/Delta
converter. Thus a digital signal is provided. This has the advantage that a normal I/O Pin on the
microcontroller can be used and that the subsequent error is low. However an analog signal can be
produced with the use of the following schematic.

Switching losses
Using the baseplate temperature and a thermal model the junction temperature can be estimated. The
complexity of the thermal model needed for this purpose depends on application and heatsinking conditions
as well as on requirements on accuracy and dynamic response. In case of a broken wire the output switches
down to 0 V. Output voltage vs. baseplate temperature is shown in Figure 14, assuming that the circuit
according to Figure 12 is used to convert the digital signal to an analog signal.

Switching losses
4 Switching losses
The setup used for preparing this application note varies from the setup used to characterize the devices in
three aspects:
DC-link inductance:
The DC-link inductance of the setup used for these test is has a value of approximately 35 nH for all modules
investigated here in contrast to varying values between 35 nH to 80 nH used for device characterization (see
device datasheets for details). For a detailed discussion on the impact of DC-link inductance on switching
losses please refer to [2].
Gate voltage:
This Evaluation Board provides a gate voltage of -8 V for turning off and 16 V for turning on wheras
charactization is done with a driver providing +/- 15 V of gate voltage.
Gate driver output impedance:
According to IEC 60747-9 for characterization of an IGBT the driver used should resemble an ideal voltage
source as far as possible. For the Evaluation Board a driver output stage has been choosen that considers
board space as well as cost constraints. Therefore it can not provide close to zero output impedance.
All aspects discussed above have an impact on the switching speed of the module and hence also on the
switching losses. Gate resistor values have been choosen so that di/dt at turn-on compareable to
characterization has been achieved. Nevertheless small deviations in the turn-on losses persist. For the turn-
off losses there is little impact of driving conditions for trench-fieldstop IGBTs like the ME3 and ME4 devices.
For NPT IGBTs, like used in the MS4 modules, the considerations made for turn-on losses also apply for
turn-off losses.
4.1 Turn-on losses

The turn-on losses are expected to be close to the values of the datasheet of the modules. As an example
the turn-on losses for an EconoDUAL™3 FF450R12ME3 as well as for a FF450R12ME4 module are shown
in the following diagrams.

4.2 Turn-off losses

In general the turn-off losses increase linear with the DC-Link voltage. In the case of the driver board it does
not increase linear because the active clamping function increases the turn-off losses due to a decrease of
the di/dt.
