2SC0108T2H0-17

Gate Driver Overview

The Power Integrations 2SC0108T2H0-17 is a dual-channel SCALE-2+ IGBT gate driver core designed for high-reliability industrial applications. It delivers an output current of 8 A per channel with a maximum switching frequency of 50 kHz. The device supports IGBT modules rated up to 1700 V and provides a gate voltage swing of +15 V / -8 V. Each channel offers a maximum output power of 1 W. The unit features reinforced electrical isolation between the primary side, secondary side, and between the two output channels. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Integrates isolated DC/DC power supply, short-circuit protection, and supply voltage monitoring functions within a single compact core.
• Supports direct parallel connection of multiple drivers to simplify inverter design and reduce current balancing complexity for paralleled IGBTs.
• Utilizes transformer technology for signal transmission, eliminating optocouplers to enhance system reliability and performance.
• Provides stable +15 V turn-on voltage regulation regardless of output power variations.

Gate Driver Applications

• Two-level voltage source inverters
• Three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) topologies
• Industrial motor drives and converters

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2H0' indicates the conformal coated version when sourcing replacements. Confirm that the component is identified as a driver core rather than a complete module assembly. Ensure compatibility with the target IGBT module's pin pitch and thermal requirements before integration into the design.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high integration density and robust isolation in medium-power systems. It is suitable for designs utilizing IGBT modules up to 600A at 1200V or 450A at 1700V. Consider its compact footprint if space constraints are critical compared to traditional discrete driver solutions.

Gate Driver Part Context

This component belongs to the SCALE-2+ family from Power Integrations, which focuses on highly integrated gate driver cores. The series aims to reduce component count by up to 80% compared to traditional discrete implementations, thereby improving overall system reliability and reducing manufacturing costs for power conversion equipment.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

The conformal coated variant is explicitly listed as 2SC0108T2H0C-17. Verify if the uncoated version 2SC0108T2A0-17 meets environmental requirements. No other direct substitute part numbers are confirmed in public documentation.
