HCPL-3160
Features
• Integrated IGBT
Desaturation Protection
• Integrated Optically Isolated
IGBT Fault Status Feedback
• CMOS Compatible INPUT
and FAULT Status Indicator
Description
The HCPL-3160 provides low cost,
area efficient IGBT gate drive
that includes desaturation or over
current detection and local IGBT
shutdown. The integrated fault
feedback optocoupler notifies
the controller when the IGBT is
shutdown due to a desaturation
or over current condition.

Fault Circuit Operation
A typical desaturation protected
IGBT gate drive application
circuit using the HCPL-3160 is
shown in Figure 1. The IGBT
collector to emitter voltage
is monitored through D
DESAT
.
When the IGPT is
on
and V
DESAT
exceeds the internal reference
voltage of 7 V the IGBT gate is
“softly” turned-off by M2 to
prevent large di/dt generation.
The LED2 driver is also activated,
which drives the internal
feedback LED2 and notifies the
controller of the IGBT fault by
bringing the FAULT output low.
The FAULT output remains
low until RESET is brought low.
(Note if a separate reset line
is not required, RESET can be
connected to Vin on the circuit
board. In this case, the FAULT
output will be reset on the next
PWM cycle that Vin goes low.)
The FAULT output is an open
collector which allows the FAULT
outputs from all the HCPL-3160s
in a drive to be connected
together in a “wired OR” forming
a single fault bus for interfacing
with the micro-controller. The
ENABLE input can also be
connected to this fault bus. With
this connection all IGBTs in a
drive are shutdown without
micro-controller intervention
once a fault is detected on a
single IGBT.
C
BLANK
disables the fault
detection circuitry for a time
period sufficient for normal IGBT
turn-on. C
BLANK
is held low by
Q1 when the IGBT is off.
