Applications Information
Eliminating Negative IGBT Gate Drive
To keep the IGBT firmly off, the HCPL-5150 has a very
low maximum V
realizes this very low V
with 4 W (typical) on resistance in its pull down circuit.
When the HCPL-5150 is in the low state, the IGBT gate is
shorted to the emitter by R
the lead inductance from the HCPL-5150 to the IGBT gate
and emitter (possibly by mounting the HCPL-5150 on a
small PC board directly above the IGBT) can eliminate the
need for negative IGBT gate drive in many applications
as shown in Figure 25. Care should be taken with such
a PC board design to avoid routing the IGBT collector or
emitter traces close to the HCPL-5150 input as this can
result in unwanted coupling of transient signals into the
HCPL-5150 and degrade performance. (If the IGBT drain
must be routed near the HCPL-5150 input, then the LED
should be reverse-biased when in the off state, to prevent
the transient signals coupled from the IGBT drain from
turning on the HCPL-5150.)

HCPL-5150 is not an ideal voltage step. This results in
lower peak currents (more margin) than predicted by this
analysis. When negative gate drive is not used, V
previous equation is equal to zero volts.
