2SP0320T2C0-17

Gate Driver Overview

The Power Integrations 2SP0320T2C0-17 is a standalone half-bridge gate driver from the SCALE-2 Plug-and-Play series. It provides two independent outputs with a peak output current of 20 A. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 14.5 V to 15.5 V. Key switching characteristics include a rise time of 7 ns and a fall time of 25 ns. It supports IGBT and MOSFET modules up to 1.7 kV collector-emitter voltage. The unit is designed for through-hole mounting and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-channel half-bridge drive capability within a single module form factor.
• Utilizes SCALE-2 Plug-and-Play architecture for simplified mechanical and electrical integration with compatible power modules.
• Employs isolated transformer technology for signal transmission, eliminating the need for external optocouplers.

Gate Driver Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Inverter systems
• Converter applications

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application utilizes a compatible Power Integrations SCALE-2 or similar Plug-and-Play module interface. Confirm that the required supply voltage remains strictly between 14.5 V and 15.5 V. Ensure the thermal environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C operational limits. Check that the module's collector-emitter voltage rating does not exceed the driver's 1.7 kV support capability.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated standalone driver is required for specific power modules rather than a generic discrete driver IC. Consider the 20 A output current capability for driving medium-power IGBTs or MOSFETs. Evaluate the 7 ns rise time against system switching loss requirements. Verify physical compatibility with the chosen module's footprint and pinout configuration before finalizing the design.

Gate Driver Part Context

This part belongs to the SCALE-2 family of gate drivers by Power Integrations. These drivers are engineered specifically for use with high-power semiconductor modules, offering integrated isolation and protection features. The 2SP0320T2C0-17 variant serves as a standalone driver solution, distinct from integrated driver-core modules that combine the driver and power switch in one package.
