IHD260/660
Preliminary
Data Sheet IHD 260/660
Dual Channel SCALE IGBT Driver Core
A successor to the IHD 215/280/680 dual-gate driver cores
for 1200V and 1700V IGBTs
The IHD 260 and IHD 660 (short IHDx60) are
highly-integrated dual IGBT driver cores based
on CONCEPT's proprietary SCALE technology
which has been established on the market as
an industrial standard since 1999.
As most customers apply the IHD 215, IHD 280
and IHD 680 drivers in a similar way, the
IHDx60 covers a dedicated set of compatible
items to give the benefits of optimum
performance, optimum reliability and a
competitive price.
The driver cores are optimized to match various
IGBTs and applications from 25A to 450A and
1200V to 1700V.
Typical applications include half-bridge control of 1700V/75A IGBTs at switching
frequencies up to 100kHz and 1700V/450A IGBTs at switching frequencies up to
18.5kHz for the IHD660 version.

Preliminary Data Sheet
Compatibility to IHD 215/280/680 Gate Drivers
The IHDx60 are available with different options covering a dedicated set of compatible
items. In this data sheet, the text referring to critical compatible items is underlined.
Option N and Option I select between non-inverting and inverting inputs respectively. It
is no longer possible to interchange the IN+ and IN- inputs to invert the logic as could
be done with IHD 215/280/680.
On the secondary side, any fault state is extended by a period known as the command
blocking time. During this time, the driver is kept in the off-state. The command
blocking time is set at the factory to a nominal value of 25ms. Other values upon
request. It is no longer possible for the application to adjust the blocking time.
For option T, the signal transformer interface is used to transfer the secondary fault
signal to the primary side. This transfer may be performed at each change in the
command signal, but only during the blocking time. For option C, an optocoupler is
used to transfer the secondary-side fault state to the primary side within a delay of less
than several microseconds. The initial creepage distance and the maximum operating
voltage are reduced by the optocoupler.
For a summary, refer to the Ordering Information section on the last page.
