SCALE-iFlex Single gate controllers are ideal for light rail, renewable energy generation and other high-reliability applications that demand compact and rugged controller solutions.
Thorsten Schmidt, product marketing manager at Power Integrations, commented: "The SCALE-iFlex Single gate drivers fit the schematic of the latest standard IGBT power modules, including the Mitsubishi LV100/HV100, Infineon xHP2 and xHP3, ABB LinPak, Hitachi nHPD² and other similar products.".
SCALE-iFlex Single door controllers utilize Power Integrations' SCALE-2™ ASIC technology, which dramatically reduces the number of components compared to conventional products. The ASIC also provides advanced active clamping surge protection (AAC) during normal operation, a substantial improvement over simple soft shutdown, adding extra protection in the event of a short circuit during power-up. The devices are uniformly coated and feature reinforced insulation. Insulated housings ensure isolation between modules when mounted side-by-side. The devices are pre-qualified according to IEC 61373 - Class 1B (shock and vibration) and IEC 61000-4-x (EMC testing) and IEC 60068-2-x (serial environmental testing) railway standards. Wear testing is available as an option.
The new door controllers have a maximum output current of 20 A per channel at an ambient temperature of 85 °C without airflow. Higher power levels are possible with cooling or a lower ambient temperature. Electrical and fiber optic interfaces are available.
The SCALE-iFlex Single gate controllers are now available for sampling.
