Overview SEMIKRON driver SKHIBS 01
The SEMIKRON driver kit SKHIBS consists of 1 subprint and 1 transformer, which have to be soldered into a printed
circuit board (PCB).
Subprint together with the transformer can be used for driving max. 7 IGBTs, e.g. a sixpack or a sixpack with brake
chopper.
SKHIBS drives IGBTs up to V
CES
=1200 V. The output capability was designed to drive 120 A IGBTs up to 20 kHz.
The power supply for the driver kit may be the same used for the control board (15 V 0.6 V), without the requirements
of insulation. The signals (inverter) between primary side and secondary side are transmitted via opto couplers (also
used for insulation) with a dv/dt > 15 kV/msec.
Operation (storage) temperature is from 0 C to + 70 C, (- 25 C to + 85 C on request).
To protect the subprints against moisture and dust they are coated with varnish.

Description of the circuit block diagram SKHIBS 01
The circuit shows the minimal configuration for driving 6 inverter IGBTs and 1 brake chopper IGBTs.
The transformer delivers the insulated supply voltage for driving the IGBTs.
The regulation of these voltages is made on the subprint.
For each TOP IGBT + 15 V is used for switching on the IGBT,
- 8 V is used for switching off the IGBT.
The BOT IGBTs are supplied with one common power supply, + 15 V is used for switching on and - 8 V is used for
switching off. The brake chopper IGBT is supplied due to the power supply used for the BOT switches.
For switching off the brake chopper IGBT 0 V is used. Switching on is made with + 15 V.
The driver kit SKHIBS 01 is able to drive SEMIKRON IGBTs up to I

SKHIBS 01
Before giving detailed informations about SKHIBS 01 a short description is given about the using of the subprint and the
transformer.
a)
Subprint together with the transformer describes the minimal configuration for driving 6 IGBT switches and 1 brake
chopper IGBT. 6 Opto couplers are used for driving the IGBTs of the inverter circuit.
Driving of the brake chopper IGBT is made with an integrated circuit, which allows the short circuit protection of
this brake chopper IGBT due to V
CE
-monitoring. The protection of the brake chopper against overtemperature, e.g.
using the temperature sensor e.g. in MiniSKiiP 8 devices, can also be made.
b)
The transformer supplies the insulated supply voltage. The 6 IGBT for the inverter are supplied with regulated
+ 15 V for switching on and -8V for switching off the IGBTs.
The 3 TOP-IGBTs have separate supply voltages. The 3 BOT-IGBTs have a common supply voltage.
This voltage is also used for driving the brake chopper IGBT, if in use.
Circuits on subprint provide the regulated voltages for switching the IGBTs.
c)
SKHIBS 01 has no feature to protect the IGBTs against short circuit. But with the input PIN 9 ,,INHIBITING INPUT"
all inverter IGBTs can be made inactive, when the customers evaluation electronic delivers a fault signal, e.g. in
short circuit condition.
d)
The brake chopper IGBT of the subprint has a separate input PIN 7 ,,BRC" for externally controlling of this IGBT
in chopper mode.
2.
Input circuit for inverter
The signal transfer to each IGBT is made with opto-couplers, used for switching on and switching off the IGBT.
When using 5 V inputsignal (TTL-logic), no additional resistor in series to the input is necessary.
Using positive 15 V input voltage an additional resistor R
v
= 1 kW have to be connected in series to the inputs.
Because no interlock of TOP and BOT switch in each halfbridge is made on the subprint, the controller
have to provide this interlock. Deadtime of interlock should be t
TD
> 3 msec.
Please observe:
No interlock will destroy the IGBT when switching.
There are no gate resistors Rgon/off provided on the subprint.
The max. output peak current IOUTpeak < 1,5 A have to considered, when fixing the gate resistors.
The minimum permissible gate resistor is Rg = 18 W. 18 kHz < f
sw
< 20 kHz
15 W. 16 kHz < f
sw
< 18 kHz
12 W < 16 kHz switching frequency
3.
INHIBITING signal
Therefore the SKHIBS 01 has no protection against short circuit it will be possible to disconnect the low voltage
side from high voltage side in case of a fault condition due to the input PIN 9 ,,INHIBITING INPUT". In case of
fault condition the INHIBITING INPUT signal have to be turned to LOW signal (set to GND).
When the INHIBITING signal is short in time, an internal circuit extent a short pulse to 1 ms.
The INHIBITING signal sets the ERROR output PIN 8 from LOW to HIGH level.
The power supply for the inverter IGBTs as well as the brake chopper IGBT, will also be disconnected, when the
brake chopper IGBT driver circuit creates an ERROR signal caused either due to VCE-monitoring or
overtemperature monitoring of the brake chopper IGBT.
4.
ERROR monitoring
The Error output PIN 8 ,,ERROR" is an open collector transistor (max. 30 V / 10 mA).
In case of an ERROR (either external fault information via the input PIN 9 ,,INHIBITING INPUT" or because of an

SKHIBS 01
internal fault information (created on subprint) the ERROR output PIN 8 is set to HIGH level.
When there is a fault condition, transferred due to the INHIBITING INPUT signal, the ERROR output is active until
the INHIBITING INPUT is > 5 V (Umax. = + 15 V).
When PIN 8 ,,ERROR" is active due to the V
CE
-monitoring or overtemperature sensing of the brake chopper, the
ERROR output is active until the input signal PIN 7 ,,BRC" is set to LOW level (OV) for t > 1msec.
5.
brake chopper driver
The brake chopper driver IC transfers the on and off signals to the brake chopper IGBT.
Switching on of the IGBT is made with + 15 V, switching off is made with 0 V.
This IC also monitors the V
CE
-voltage of the brake chopper. If there is a short circuit, the V
CE
-monitoring delivers
a error signal at PIN 8 "ERROR" when the voltage exceed typ. 5.3 V.
When the brake chopper is not in use, input PIN 7 ,,BRC" have to be set to ,,GND" (PIN 10).
Also the input on secondary side PIN 25 ,,V
CE
BRC" have to be connected to ,,GND" (PIN 23).
Temperature monitoring (Brake chopper only)
Also an ERROR signal will be transferred to the ERROR output PIN 8 ,,ERROR", when the temperature exceeded
a value, fixed by the customer (factory adjusted: max. T
TRIP
= 115 C + / - 5 C).
This circuit evaluates the overtemperature of a thermal resistor type KTY 85 (Philips), which is soldered on the
DCB ceramic of SEMIKRON MiniSKiiP 8 devices.
When this temperature is not in use, input PIN 21 ,,T GND" have be connected to PIN 22 ,,T+".
Factory adjusted the overtemperature detection is fixed to 115 C heatsink temperature.
Due to the paralleling of the external resistor R1 between PIN 20 ,,T THRESHOLD" and PIN 21 ,,GND" the
threshold level can be adjusted, according to the following table.
