Compact and reliable IGBT driver
Power Integrations, Inc., is a Silicon
Valley-based supplier of high-perfor-
mance electronic components used in
high-voltage power-conversion systems.
Power Integrations‘ integrated circuits
and diodes enable compact, energy-
efficient AC-DC power supplies for a vast
range of electronic products including
mobile devices, TVs, PCs, appliances,
smart utility meters and LED lights. Our
SCALE™ IGBT drivers enhance the effi-
ciency, reliability and cost of high-power
applications such as industrial motor
drives, solar and wind energy systems,
electric vehicles and high-voltage DC
transmission.
All drivers are distinguished by leading-
edge technology, outstanding functional-
ity, unrivalled quality and a first-class
price/performance ratio. These SCALE™
IGBT drivers are based on the unique
SCALE ASIC chipset (ASIC = Application-
Specific Integrated Circuit).
The highly integrated SCALE-2 chipset
allows about 85% of components to be
dispensed with compared with conven-
tional drivers. This advantage is impres-
sively reflected in their increased reliabil-
ity with simultaneously minimized cost.
SCALE Driver Cores
SCALE Driver Cores are PCB-based mod-
ules equipped with all the basic functions
of a driver. They are mounted on a circuit
board containing all the additional com-
ponents required to match the driver to
specific IGBTs or applications, such as an
input interface, gate resistors, active
clamping and more.
SCALE Plug-and-Play Drivers
SCALE Plug-and-Play Drivers are complete
ready-to-use IGBT drivers that have been
perfectly matched to a wide range of
IGBTs. Users only need to mount them
onto the corresponding IGBT module.
The system can then be put into imme-
diate operation with no further develop-
ment or matching effort.
Power Integrations is willing to defend its
leading position in the sector of power
electronics with high investments in R&D.
Its success is not based on perfect prod-
ucts alone: high flexibility, many years of
experience in working together with
customers and daily efforts to offer opti-
mal solutions are key success factors for
Power Integrations.
