Power Driver Modules FAQ

How does the module handle overcurrent protection?

The module features open emitter pins for external current sensing and an internal ITRIP pin that triggers shutdown upon detecting overcurrent conditions, supported by short-circuit safe operating area ratings.

What is the function of the T/ITRIP pin?

The T/ITRIP pin serves as both a temperature monitor input connected to an internal NTC thermistor and an active-low overcurrent shutdown trigger to protect the IGBTs from thermal and electrical faults.

Can the module operate with a single polarity power supply?

Yes, the internal circuitry requires only a single polarity power supply (VCC and VSS), while high-side floating supplies are generated internally via bootstrap diodes and capacitors.
