HIP2030
30V MCT/IGBT Gate Driver
Description
The HIP2030 is a medium voltage integrated circuit (MVIC)
capable of driving large capacitive loads at high voltage slew
rates (dv/dts). This device is optimized for driving 60nF of
MOS gate capacitance at 30V peak to peak in less than
200ns. The half bridge gate driver is ideal for driving MOS
Controlled Thyristor (MCT) and IGBT modules.
The architecture of the HIP2030 includes four comparator
input channels, a 5V regulator, a 12V clamp, and a high side
charge pump. The device provides the user with the ability to
control minimum low time (MLT) and minimum high time
(MHT) at the gate channel output (GO) by varying two exter-
nal capacitances. In addition, the device contains two
uncommitted comparator channels (channels A and B) that
can be used as monitors (temperature sensing), indicators
(LEDs or opto-couplers), input signal conditioning (both con-
tain Schmitt triggers), or oscillators.
The power requirements of the HIP2030 are low. The driver
can be easily configured to operate in one of three power
configurations. This allows the use of a small PCB mount-
able transformer or battery to provide isolated power to the
driver chip.
The HIP2030 supplies high output current drive to large
capacitive loads and requires few external components to
implement a wide variety of MOS gate driver circuits.
