Abstract: In a level shifted high voltage MOSgate device driver which drives MOSgate devices such as IGBTs and power MOSFETs, effects of negative voltage swings caused by currents commutating through LS1 and LS2 inductances in the power circuits are avoided due to several measures. First, the values of the inductances LS1 and LS2 are reduced by keeping short conductor lengths, by other layout/wire bonding techniques to reduce the values of the LS1 and LS2 inductances. The external, charging capacitor Cb value is increased substantially to reduce the voltage buildup on the internal circuitry. A typical value is 0.47 mu F, for a given circuit, IGBT and layout combination. The size of the CVCC capacitor is selected to keep the supply voltage as stiff as possible. Preferably, CVCC is at about ten times the value of the sum of the Cb capacitance in the circuit. The resistance Rb in the bootstrap path is reduced as much as possible, preferably to zero. Finally, a resistor RCOM is optionally added between the common nodes of the driver circuit and the power device circuit.

Abstract: A power module contains IGBT die along with integrated circuit driver chips and opto isolators or isolation transformers within the same module housing. Output terminals are provided which can be interfaced directly to control logic or microprocessors for operating the module. The IGBTs may have current-sensing electrodes to simplify current measurement and control functions.

Abstract: A current sensing circuit including a shunt resistor coupled, at one end, to the low-side transistor of a half bridge circuit and, at its other end, to a load. The voltage sensed across the shunt resistor is proportional to the current delivered to the load. A level shifting circuit is provided to transpose the sensed voltage to a low voltage signal which can be fed back to control commutation of the transistors in the half bridge circuit.

Abstract: A semiconductor component is fastened on upper surface of planar insulated metal substrate which is connected with heat sink, thermally. A printed circuit board (PCB) is arranged on the substrate, such that opening of PCB is aligned with heat dissipation surface of substrate. A lid is arranged covering the opening of PCB which is fastened directly onto heat sink using a screw. The outer edge of the upper surface of the insulated metal substrate is fastened to the lower surface of the printed circuit board by adhesive band. A connection pad on the PCB is connected with semiconductor component on the metal substrate by wire electrically. The opening of PCB surrounded by lid contains sealing material.

Abstract: The driver includes a diode (D), a capacitor (C1) and a resistor (R2) which clamp the output of the opto-isolator (2) to a higher voltage than that required to drive buffer (4). The value of the capacitor is selected to swamp the internal transistor of the opto-isolator. The capacitor charges up to the supply voltage (Vcc) and remains fully charged and isolated from the opto-isolator driver. If the power supply dies down, the capacitor discharges and resets itself, ready for the next power-up.

Abstract: A current sensing circuit comprises a resistor RShunt suitable for coupling to a load supply arrangement such that the voltage across the resistor is proportional to the current delivered to the said load. The voltage signal across the resistor is processed via circuitry for adjusting the voltage signal relative to a reference signal such that the resulting voltage signal may be used as a feedback signal to control the commutation of a converter device. The current sensing resistor Rshunt may be located in the converter device with one end connected to a junction between a high-side switching device and a low-side switching device of a half bridge arrangement and the other end being connected to the load. Analog or digital circuitry arrangements may be employed for processing the voltage signal.
