2SC0108T2G0-17

Gate Driver Overview

The Power Integrations 2SC0108T2G0-17 is a dual-channel SCALE-2+ IGBT and MOSFET driver core designed for high-reliability applications. It features an integrated isolated DC/DC converter and supports driving common IGBT modules up to 1700V. Key electrical parameters include a supply voltage range of 14.5V to 15.5V, peak output currents of 8A for both sourcing and sinking, and propagation delays of 75ns (tpLH) and 70ns (tpHL). The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C with rise and fall times of 17ns and 15ns respectively.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Integrates a fully isolated DC/DC power supply and switching signal transmission using transformer technology, eliminating the need for external optocouplers.
• Provides reinforced electrical isolation suitable for systems with working voltages up to 900V, complying with specific IEC clearance and creepage requirements.
• Supports parallel operation of multiple drivers to facilitate high-power inverter designs and accommodates multi-level topology applications.

Gate Driver Applications

• General-purpose inverters and converters
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems
• Solar inverters
• Medical equipment

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix '2G0' corresponds to the required connector pin length and PCB thickness compatibility. Confirm whether the uncoated version meets environmental standards or if the coated variant is necessary for the target application. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets matching the exact part number to confirm isolation ratings and thermal characteristics.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, dual-channel solution is required for IGBT modules rated up to 1700V. It is suitable for designs needing integrated isolation without discrete optocouplers. Consider the physical dimensions of 45mm x 34.3mm for space-constrained layouts. Evaluate the 8A drive current against the gate charge requirements of the target IGBT modules at the intended switching frequency.

Gate Driver Part Context

This part belongs to the SCALE-2+ family of driver cores from Power Integrations. These cores are designed to replace traditional discrete gate driver circuits by integrating essential functions into a single module. The series targets mid-to-low power industrial applications, offering a balance between cost, size, and performance for standard inverter topologies.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

The 2SC0108T2G1-17 is a confirmed substitute within the same product line. Verify if the G1 variant's connector specifications align with the existing PCB design. Both parts share similar functional capabilities but may differ in mechanical interface details.
