... 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. Rev. 2/08 VLA500- ...

... Powerex NF and A-Series IGBT modules as long as the total shut-down time does not exceed 10µs. Adjustment of Soft Shutdown Speed As noted above the VLA500-01 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 ...
