FAQ

How does the module prevent simultaneous switching of the same leg?

The integrated gate driver includes shoot-through prevention capability that avoids the simultaneous on-state of two gate drivers in the same leg, ensuring the leg remains in a safe state.

What is the function of the ITRIP pin?

The ITRIP pin serves as the input for the over-current detection function. Connecting it to the IGBT collector current feedback triggers a shutdown of all outputs if the threshold is exceeded.

Can the module operate with 3.3V logic controllers?

Yes, the Schmitt-trigger input thresholds are designed to guarantee LSTTL and CMOS compatibility down to 3.3V controller outputs.
