2SC0108T2G0C-17

Gate Driver Overview

The Power Integrations 2SC0108T2G0C-17 is a dual-channel SCALE-2+ IGBT driver core designed for high-reliability applications. It features an integrated isolated DC/DC converter and supports peak output currents of 8 A per channel. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 14.5 V to 15.5 V, with rise and fall times of 17 ns and 15 ns respectively. It provides reinforced isolation suitable for systems with working voltages up to 900 V, targeting 1200 V and 1700 V IGBT modules. The unit includes short-circuit protection and power supply monitoring.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Integrates isolated DC/DC power and switching signal transmission via transformer technology, eliminating the need for external opto-couplers.
• Features conformal coating using ELPEGUARD SL 1307 FLZ/2 from Lackwerke Peters for enhanced environmental protection.
• Provides reinforced electrical isolation compliant with PD2 and OV II clearance and creepage requirements of IEC 60664-1 and IEC 61800-5-1.

Gate Driver Applications

• Inverters and converters rated between 90 kW and 500 kW
• Medical imaging equipment including MRI, CT scanners, and X-ray systems
• Laser technology applications

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'C' in the part number corresponds to the conformally coated version utilizing ELPEGUARD SL 1307 FLZ/2 material. Confirm that the ordering information explicitly references the coated variant rather than the standard uncoated 2SC0108T2G0-17. Ensure compatibility with PCB thicknesses requiring appropriate pin lengths as specified in the official datasheet documentation.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when system reliability requires elimination of discrete opto-couplers through integrated transformer-based isolation. It is suitable for designs needing robust environmental protection via conformal coating. The 8 A drive current supports common IGBT modules up to 1700 V. Consider the compact footprint and reduced component count compared to traditional discrete gate driver solutions.

Gate Driver Part Context

This model belongs to the SCALE-2+ family of dual-driver cores manufactured by Power Integrations (formerly Concept). These components combine high integration levels with broad applicability for general-purpose industrial drives. The series targets applications demanding high reliability and compactness, leveraging proprietary IC and transformer technologies for signal and power transmission.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

The standard uncoated equivalent is the 2SC0108T2G0-17. For coated variants with different specifications, consider the 2SC0108T2H0C-17. Verify functional equivalence regarding drive current and isolation ratings before substitution.
