Powerex Product Development Kits:
BG2B-F
Powerex launched its Product Development Kit
program to help customers speed up their IGBT
gate drive designs. The kits include samples of
Powerex hybrid gate drivers, dc-dc converters, a
prototype PC board, along with technical literature
recommending all parts to complete the gate drive
circuit.
To kick of this program, Powerex is offering four
kits containing its BG1A Universal High Power
IGBT Module Gate Driver Board and its BG2B
Universal Dual IGBT Module Gate Driver Board,
each available for compatibility with Powerex F-
Series or KA-Series IGBT modules.
Product Development Kit BG2B-F shown above.
BG2B is a fully isolated gate drive circuit board designed for use with dual IGBT modules. When the board is
populated, gate drive is supplied by M57159L, M57959L, M57962L or M57160AL hybrid gate drivers to
provide efficient switching of modules rated up to 400A. The hybrid gate drivers also provide protection against
unexpected short circuit conditions. Isolated control power for the driver is supplied by a pair of onboard
M57145L-01 regulated DC/DC converters. The fault feedback signals are optically isolated.
Powerex - a joint venture of Mitsubishi Electric and General Electric - is a pioneer in high power
semiconductor applications, specializing in turning ideas into cost effective, practical products.
