... FAULT OUTPUT V EE VLA500K-01R Hybrid IC IGBT Gate Driver + DC/DC Converter Description: VLA500K-01R is a hybrid integrated circuit designed for driving IGBT modules. This device is a fully isolated gate drive circuit consisting of an optimally isolated gate drive amplifier and an isolated DC-to-DC converter. The gate driver provides an over-current protection function based on desaturation detection ...

... DZ1 is necessary to protect Pin 30 of the driver from voltage surges during the recovery of D1. (3) Power supply input and output decoupling capacitors should be connected as close as possible to the pins of the gate driver. (4) DC-to-DC converter output decoupling capacitors must be sized to have appropriate ESR and ripple current capability for the IGBT being driven. VLA500K-01R ...

... Adjustment of Soft Shutdown Speed NO As noted above the VLA500K-01R provides a soft turn- off when a short circuit is detected in order to help limit the transient voltage surge that occurs when large short circuit currents are interrupted. The default shutdown speed will work for most applications so adjustment is usually not necessary ...
