IGBT Drive Board

PCTI's family of IGBT driver boards will enable you to confidently implement and switch the latest switching devices to take advantage of higher performance parameters within your equipment.  PCTI's driver boards offer a complete solution to driving your IGBTs; there is no need for additional components or circuitry that can add to the cost of your designs.   

Medium Power Dual IGBT Drive with Opto Coupler - This driver provides an inexpensive solution for standard configurations where the IGBT modules are not in series or parallel.  The recommended modules are those with maximum current of 400A and a maximum voltage of 1200V.  This driver is best suited for applications where the IGBTs are switched at lower voltage (< 600V) where the use of negative voltage on the gate is not critical.  This driver has a lower common mode rejection ratio (min 15KV/µsec) than the Magnetic driver (below).

Medium Power Dual IGBT Drive with Magnetic Coupler - This is a high performance drive capable of driving very high power modules (to 1000A/1700V).  It has a higher common mode rejection ratio (min 75KV/µsec) than the opto driver (above).  This driver also has a higher isolation voltage (up to 6KV) and can be configured in a variety of modes including single, dual independent, and dual with interlock.  The driver provides multiple options in case of short-circuit detection making it ideal for complicated series/parallel configurations. It also provides negative turn-off voltage for safe operation in noisy environments.
