C1 ~ 4=100μF 50V(Low impedance)
Ctrip1,2 : Depended on RG1,2(3) If reverse recovery time of D1 (D2) is long, pin23 (pin22) is applied high voltage.
(Please refer to theIn that case, counterplan for protection which insert zener diode between“ ttrip-Ctrip CHARACTERISTICS “ in page3)
pin 18 and 22 (pin 27 and 23) is necessary like above diagram.
Cs1,2: Please refer to the(4) In case pin 21 or 24 are operating, the Ctrip is expected to be wired as close as“ ts-Cs CHARACTERISTICS “ in page6)
possible from pin. (Less than 5cm coming and going)
Z1,4 : 30V※In case of not operating, please pin 21 or 24 are open.
DZ2,3,5,6 : 18V(5) Minimize the area of closed circuit of gate circuit and input gate signal circuit
D1,2 : First recovery diode( trr : 0.2μs max )so as not to be affected by induction noise.

(6) When the built in short-circuit protection circuit need not be used,
PC1,2:TLP785(TOSHIBA) etc.
please connect resistance of 4.7k ohm between pin 17 and 22 (pin 23 and 28).
At that time, D1 (D2) and Dz1 (DZ4) are not require, and pin 16 and 29 are notnecessary to be connected.
(7) Pin 1 and 42 are for test pin, so pin 1 and 42 are not to be connected electrically to other line.

OPERATION OF PROTECTION CIRCUIT

ADJUSTMENT OF OUTPUT FALL TIME

(1) In case the gate voltage is “H” and the collector voltage is high,(When the protection circuit is operating)this hybrid IC will recognize the circuit as short circuit andIn case you want to decrease the speed of reverse bias

immediately reduce the gate voltage. Besides, put out

when the protection circuit is operating, you can adjust thaterror signal (”L”) which inform that protection circuit is operating

speed by connecting the capacitor (Cs) between pin 15 andat the same time from pin 29 or 16.

18(27 and 30).

(2) The protection circuit reset and resort to ordinary condition if
input signal is “OFF” when the premised 1~2msec passed.
( “OFF” period needs 10us or more )(3) When the output rises, the controlled time detect short circuit (ttrip) is
set up so that on-time of IGBT can be secured properly.
It is possible to adjust that time by connecting the capacitor (Ctrip)
between pin17 and 21 (28 and 24).
(4) When the short circuit protection works, the soft gate shut down
circuit works to suppress collector surge voltage of IGBT.

Furthermore, when it is necessary to be more soft, by adding a capacitor toCs terminal, it is possible to make gate shut down speed more slow.

HYBRID IC

VLA567-11R
DRIVER FOR IGBT MODULESFOR SAFETY USINGGreat detail and careful attention are given to the production activity of Hics, such as the development, the quality of production, andin it’s reliability.

However the reliability of Hics depends not only on their own factors but also in their condition of usage. Whenhandling Hics, please note the following cautions.

CAUTIONS

Packing

The materials used in packing Hics can only withstand normal external conditions.
When exposed to outside shocks, rain and certain environmental contaminators, the packing materials
will deteriorates. Please take care in handling.

CarryingStorage1)

Don’t stack boxes too high. Avoid placing heavy materials on boxes.

2)

Boxes must be positioned correctly during transportation to avoid breakage.

3)

Don't throw or drop boxes.

4)

Keep boxes dry. Avoid rain or snow.

5)

Minimal vibration and shock during transportation is desirable.

When storing Hics, please observe the following notices or possible deterioration of their electricalcharacteristics, risk of solder ability, and external damage may occur.
1)

Devices must be stored where fluctuation of temperature and humidity is minimal, and must not
be exposed to direct sunlight. Store at the normal temperature of 5 to 30 degrees Celsius withhumidity at 40 to 60%.

2)

Extended storage

Avoid locations where corrosive gasses are generated or where much dust accumulates.

3)

Storage cases must be static proof.

4)

Avoid putting weight on boxes.

When extended storage is necessary, Hics must be kept non-processed. When using Hics whichhave been stored for more than one year or under severe conditions, be sure to check that the exterior
is free from flaw and other damages.

Maximum ratings

To prevent any electrical damages, use Hics within the maximum ratings. The temperature, current,voltage, etc. must not exceed these conditions.

Polarity

To protect Hics from destruction and deterioration due to wrong insertion, make sure of polarity ininserting leads into the board holes, conforming to the external view for the terminal arrangement.
