Description

The EiceDRIVER™ 2ED314xMC12L is a family of dual-channel isolated gate driver ICs, designed to drive Si MOSFETs, IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs. All products are available in a 14-pin DSO package with 8 mm input-to-output creepage and provide reinforced isolation. All variants offer dead-time control (DTC) functionality and independent channel operation. This allows the operation as dual-channel low-side driver, dual-channel high-side driver or half-bridge gate driver with a configurable dead-time. With excellent common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), low part-to-part propagation delay mismatch and fast signal propagation, the products are best suited for use in fast-switching applications.

  • VCC1: Input supply voltage. Connect to 3.3 V or 5 V and decouple with a capacitor to GND1. Use a low ESR and ESL capacitor placed as close as possible to the device
  • GND1: Input ground. All the input side signals, VCC1, IN+ and IN- are referenced to this ground
  • INA: Non-inverted control signal for output channel A. An internal filter provides robustness against noise at INA
  • INB: Non-inverted control signal for output channel B. An internal filter provides robustness against noise at INB
  • DIS (2ED3140-2ED3143): Disable input pin. When at logic high, it switches OUTA and OUTB off, at logic low the output levels are controlled by their individual input pins
  • EN (2ED3144-2ED3147): Enable input pin. When at low, it switches OUTA and OUTB off, at logic high the output levels are controlled by their individual input pins
  • DT: Dead-time control. The feature is active if the pin is connected to GND1 via a resistor, inactive if tied to VCC1 or left open. It is not recommended to connect capacitive loads to this pin. The configured dead-time should be reasonably smaller than the minimum pulse width
  • VCC2A: Channel A positive power supply rail. Connect a decoupling capacitor from this pin to VEE2A. Use low ESR and ESL capacitors placed as close as possible to the device
  • VEE2A: Channel A output ground. VCC2A and OUTA are referenced to this ground. In case of a bipolar supply (positive and negative voltage referred to the IGBT emitter or MOSFET source), this pin should be connected to the negative supply voltage
  • OUTA: Channel A output pin used to charge and discharge the gate of the external transistor (IGBT or MOSFET). During the on-state this output is connected to VCC2A and during the off-state to VEE2A. This output is controlled by INA and will be turned off by an UVLO or OTP event
  • VCC2B: Channel B positive power supply rail. Connect a decoupling capacitor from this pin to VEE2B. Use low ESR and ESL capacitors placed as close as possible to the device
  • VEE2B: Channel B output ground. VCC2B and OUTB are referenced to this ground. In case of a bipolar supply (positive and negative voltage referred to the IGBT emitter or MOSFET source), this pin should be connected to the negative supply voltage
  • OUTB: Channel B output pin used to charge and discharge the gate of the external transistor (IGBT or MOSFET).

7 Functional description

7.1 Input side functional blocks

The input side of the gate driver contains several blocks, which ensure the interfacing to the microcontroller, as well as the data transmission across the isolation barrier. INA GND1 VCC1

3 UVLO

7N.C. GND1 5DIS / EN GND1 2INB 6DT 8VCC1 Input to output reinforced isolation TX TX Figure 35 Input side block diagram The following blocks are available:

  • Input supply undervoltage lockout
  • Input signal filters
  • Pulldown resistors
  • Deadtime control

7.1.1 Input supply undervoltage lockout (UVLO)

The UVLO block on the input chip monitors the voltage between the VCC1 and the GND1 pins and ensures that there is enough voltage between these pins for the internal circuitry to operate correctly. As long as the voltage between these two pins is below VUVLOL1, no turn-on signals coming on the INA or INBpins are sent across the isolation barrier, and the channels are by default turned off. In order to allow turn-on signals to cross the isolation barrier, the voltage between the VCC1 and the GND1 pins must exceed the VUVLOH1 threshold and stay above VUVLOL1, otherwise the communication across the isolation barrier is disabled and the channels are turned off. Although the UVLO ensures that the voltage between the VCC1 and GND1 pins is large enough, it does not provide protection against dynamic disturbances coming across the supply lines, which can propagate to the internal circuits of the device.

7.1.2 Input signal filters

Every pulse at INA, INB or DIS/EN, shorter than the input pulse suppression time tINFL T, will be filtered and will not be transmitted to the output chip. Longer pulses will be sent to the output with the shown propagation delay tPDON and tPDOFF. This aids the design and an external RC filter for noise suppression will not be needed in most cases. INx OUTx t INx <t INFLT t INx >t INFLT t PDON t PDOFF t INFLT t INFLT Figure 37 Input filter behavior

7.1.3 Pulldown resistors

Each of the digital input pins has a pulldown resistor attached to it. This ensures that in case the pin is desoldered from the board, it is pulled to a safe state, with the channels disabled. This is valid for INA, INB, as well as the variants with EN pins. The variants with DIS pins allow a simpler driving, as well as lower current consumption, since by default the driver is active. But it is highly recommended not to leave this pin floating, and if not actively driven by the microcontroller, it should be connected to GND1.

7.1.4 Deadtime control

The Deadtime control block implements the non-overlapping between the two channels, depending on the state of the DT pin. The following states and behaviors are defined:

  • DT connected to GND1: A minimal (<10 ns) shoot-through protection between the channels is implemented EiceDRIVER™ 2ED314xMC12L (2ED-X3 Compact) Datasheet

Datasheet 26 1.00 2024-06-12

  • DT connected to VCC1 or left floating: The two channels behave as independent drivers
  • DT is connected through a resistors to GND1: A deadtime is implemented between the falling edge of a channel and the rising edge of the other channel, according to the equation: tDT = KDT_R x RDT+MDT_R Note that in case of DT pin disconnection during operation, the device will not transition automatically to independent driver mode. INA INB OUTA OUTB A B C D E F t DT t DT t DT t DT t DT t DT Figure 38 Deadtime special pulses When a resistor is connected to the DT pin, the following behaviors are defined:
  • A & B: when complementary signals appear at the input pins at the same time, the deadtime will be generated at the falling edge of the turned off channel, and only after it has expired, the turn-on of the other channel will be triggered
  • C: if the turn-on signal on one channel has appeared after a time greater that tDT from the turn-off of the other channel, the deadtime is not visible at the output of the two channels
  • D: if a channel receives a turn-on command when the other channel is already on, both channels are turned immediately off, until the condition at the input dissapears
  • E & F: when exiting condition D, a deadtime will be generated from the turn-off command of one channel, until the other channel is turned on It is not recommended to connect capacitors to the DT pin. EiceDRIVER™ 2ED314xMC12L (2ED-X3 Compact) Datasheet

7.2 Output side functional blocks

The output side of the device contains 2 identical ICs, each driving one of the output channels. Each IC has the following blocks:

  • Output side undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
  • Short-circuit clamping
  • Active shutdown
  • Overtemperature protection (OTP) VCC2x OUTx VEE2x UVLO RX Shoot through protection Active shut- down VCC2x OTP Figure 39 Output side block diagram

7.2.1 Output side undervoltage lockout (UVLO)

The UVLO block on the output chip monitors the voltage between the VCC2A/B and the VEE2A/B pins and ensures that there is sufficient voltage between these pins to drive the connected switch properly. As long as the voltage between these two pins is below VUVLOL2, no turn on signals coming across the isolation barrier will change the output state, and the channels are by default turned off. In order to allow the turn-on of the channels, the voltage between the VCC2A/B and the VEE2A/B pins must exceed the VUVLOH2 threshold and stay above VUVLOL2, otherwise the channels will automatically be turned off, regardless of the state of the input pins. Since the charge required to turn-on the power switch connected to the channel is provided by the buffer capacitor connected between the VCC2A/B and VEE2A/B, this capacitor must be dimensioned so that during or after the turn-on event, the voltage between these two pins does not drop below VUVLOL2, as this will automatically trigger the turn off of the driver.

7.2.2 Short-circuit clamping

During short circuit, the gate voltage of the power transistor tends to rise because of the feedback via the Miller capacitance. In this situation, the IC internally clamps the voltage on the OUTA/B pins and limits the voltage to a value slightly higher than the supply voltage VVCC2A/B. A maximum current of 500 mA may be fed back to the supply through this path for 10 μs. If higher currents are expected or tighter clamping is desired, external Schottky diodes should be added between the OUTA/B and VCC2A/B pins.

7.2.3 Active Shutdown

The active shutdown function is a protection feature of the driver. It is designed to avoid a turn-on of the power switch due to a floating gate. The active shut-down feature ensures a safe IGBT , Si or SiC MOSFET off-state in case the output chip is not connected to the power supply or an undervoltage lockout is in effect. The IGBT , Si or SiC MOSFET gate is clamped via the OUTA/B-pin to VEE2A/B. In case of a missing or collapsing power supply at the VCC2A/B pin, the output section of the driver operates in the active shutdown mode. In this case, the driver uses the floating voltage of the connected gate to supply this internal circuit. This solution is by far stronger than using the external resistor placed between the gate and the source pins of the power switch. At the same time, in case of fast dV/dt events on the switch that would generate miller current that could bias the gate, even when the gate driver is not powered on, the active shutdown circuit will use the voltage to self power and actively pull the gate low. The active shut-down feature functions in a similar manner across all the variants.

7.2.4 Overtemperature protection

The overtemperature protection shuts down the output of the gate driver IC and protects the application when the junction temperature of the IC exceeds the threshold temperature, TOTPOFF. The output is then kept off until the temperature reaches the safe level of TOTPREL. At this moment, the output is turned on again, if the turn-on command is again sent. It must be noted that, although the overtemperature protection feature attempts to protect the device, operating the driver above TJ may potentially damage the driver permanently.

Information in the following application chapters is not part of the Infineon component specification, and Infineon does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. Infineon’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Typical application

This section describes how the gate drivers can be used in the application. The figures below show examples of application implementations. GND1 INA INB VCC1 OUTA VCC2A VEE2A +5 V SGND INA +18 V 3R3 4µ7 100n 0 V OUTB +18 V 4µ7 0 V INB VCC2B VEE2B DIS DT 3R3 3R3 3R3 3R3 3R3 Figure 41 Independent dual channel operation with unipolar biasing using SiC switches In order to operate the driver as two independent channels, the DT pin needs to be connected to the input supply pin VCC1. This way, the driver does not impose any deadtime between the INA and INB signals. This operating mode can be used when dealing with space restrictions or in very cost-sensitive applications. Also shown in the figure above is the usage of unipolar power supplies, where VEE2A/B pin should be connected directly to the source or emitter of the power transistor. This biasing strategy can be used when switches without parasitic turn-on are used, or at lower dV/dt of the switching node. When different turn-on and turn-off speeds are desired, a diode and an additional series resistor can be added in parallel to the already existing gate resistor. In the picture, the equivalent discharging resistor is roughly half of the charging resistor. A Schottky diode should be used for such an implementation and it's voltage drop must be taken into consideration.

When this is done, the driver implements a dead-time between the falling edge of one channel and the rising edge of the other channel. Note that also the dead-time distortion |tDTD| must be taken into account. Also shown in the picture is the usage of a bipolar driving supply. In this case a virtual ground is realized using two capacitors connected in series from VCC2A/B to VEE2A/B, with the middle point connected to the source or emitter of the driven switch.

8.2 Power supply recommendations

The 2ED314xMC12L gate drivers support a wide range of voltages on the input and the output side. The devices can operate with unipolar as well as bipolar power supply voltages on the output side for reliable and safe operation in the application. To ensure that the gate driver operates correctly, it is necessary to place appropriate decoupling capacitors on the power supply pins. On the input side, it is recommended to place a low ESR, surface mount, multilayer ceramic capacitor of 100 nF between the VCC1 pin and GND1 pin. This capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the pins. The decoupling capacitors on the output side, in addition to decoupling any disturbance on the power supply, also store the necessary energy to deliver the peak currents required for turning on and off the power transistor. Therefore, these capacitors should be dimensioned appropriately to limit the voltage drop during the power transistor turn-on and off. When using a unipolar power supply, a low ESR, surface mount, multilayer ceramic capacitor of at least 4.7 µF should be placed between the VCC2A/B pin and the VEE2A/B pin in the close proximity of the pins. In case of a bipolar power supply, it is recommended to use at least 4.7 µF ceramic capacitors between VCC2A/B and virtual ground(source or emitter potential of power transistor) and also between VEE2A/B pin and virtual ground. Depending on the gate charge of the power transistor and the peak source and sink gate currents, a higher capacitance may be necessary to limit the voltage drop during power transistor turn-on and turn-off. Finally, a 100 nF decoupling capacitor is recommended between VCC2A/B and VEE2A/B pins ensuring a short path between them to decouple any high frequency noise. When selecting the capacitors, it is important to take into account the capacitance drop of ceramic capacitors in relation to the applied DC voltage.

8.3 Gate resistor selection

The gate resistor is a key component in the gate drive circuit . The gate resistor limits the source and the sink current of the gate driver thereby exercising control over the switching speed of the associated power transistor during both turn-on and turn-off operations. As such, the careful selection of an appropriate gate resistor represents a vital consideration in the design process. Some important considerations for selection of the gate resistance are:

  • Optimize the switching losses
  • Limit the overshoots and oscillations of the drain source voltage of the collector emitter voltage of the power transistor during turn-off
  • Limit the overshoot and oscillations of the drain current or collector current during turn-on
  • Damp the oscillations of the gate source or gate emitter voltage due to parasitic inductances and capacitances in the gate loop As a starting point the gate driver selection, the gate resistor used in the datasheet of the power transistor for the characterization of the turn-on and turn-off losses can be used. The power supply conditions are rarely the same as the supply conditions that are used in power transistor data sheets. Therefore, an adaptation of the power transistor datasheet values is required to obtain a starting point for the optimization of the final gate resistor. The method which is proposed here uses the same peak gate current value for both the actual application and the power transistor datasheet. The peak gate current as per power transistor datasheet equals to: IG, pk = ΔVGS RG, datasheet + RG, int = ΔVGS RG, application + RG, int with ΔVGS = VVCC2 − VVEE2 (1) Solving this equation for RG leads to: EiceDRIVER™ 2ED314xMC12L (2ED-X3 Compact) Datasheet

Datasheet 31 1.00 2024-06-12

RG = ΔVGS IG, pk − RG, int (2) This method results in a starting point for the gate resistor selection. Further evaluations, such as EMI measurements, are required for the final dimensioning of the gate resistors as they have to be adjusted to work with the circuitry inductance, margins and allowed dV/dt transients. While dimensioning the components for gate resistances, it is necessary to take into account the average power dissipation in these resistors due to the switching of the power transistor as explained in the losses-based external gate resistor selection, as well as the pulse power capability of the component.

8.4 Deadtime resistor selection

The choice of the deadtime resistor must take into account the minimum pulse width which can occur during the operation. If the minimum pulse width has values similar to the deadtime, excessive diode conduction can occur, with loss of efficiency and potential device damage in the case of SiC switches. Therefore it is recommended to keep the deadtime reasonably smaller than the minimum pulse width, taking into account of course rise and fall time, as well as channel propagation delay.

8.5 Power dissipation estimation

8.5.1 Gate driver

The gate driver input side losses are dominated by the quiescent losses, which are calculated by: PQ1 = VVCC1 ⋅ IQ1 (3) The gate driver output side losses for each channel consist of the quiescent current losses PQ2A/B at nominal switching frequency and no load, the sourcing losses Psource,A/B and the sinking losses Psink,A/B POUT, A/B = PQ2, A/B + Psource, A/B + Psink, A/B (4) The quiescent losses on the output side PQ2,A/B can be calculated as: PQ2, A/B = VVCC2A/B − VVEE2A/B ⋅ IQ2 (5) The turn-on, Psource,A/B, and turn-off, Psink,A/B, losses can be estimated using the resistive voltage divider between the internal resistance of the gate driver output stage, RDSON,H or RDSON,L, and external gate resistor, RG,ext, with the application related gate charge, QG, the total gate driving voltage, VVCC2A/B - VVEE2A/B, and switching frequency, fsw: Psource, A/B = 1 2QG ⋅ fsw ⋅ VVCC2A/B− VVEE2A/B ⋅ RDSON,H RDSON, H + RG,ext, ON + RG,int Psink, A/B = 1 2QG ⋅ fsw ⋅ VVCC2A/B − VVEE2A/B ⋅ RDSON,L RDSON,L + RG,ext, OFF + RG,int (6) Additionally, external components that surround the gate driver can heat up the IC. The mere calculation of losses and the theoretical junction temperature alone are not sufficient for a proven gate driver circuit design. A verification EiceDRIVER™ 2ED314xMC12L (2ED-X3 Compact) Datasheet Datasheet 32 1.00 2024-06-12

by measurement is needed to avoid unexpected effects in the application. The identification of hotspots is possible, for example, by using an infrared camera.

8.5.2 External gate resistor

The losses in the gate resistor for turn-on, RG,ext,ON and the gate resistor for turn-off, RG,ext,OFF can estimated using the same resistive voltage divider formed by the resistances in the source and the sink path of the gate current as: Psource, ext = 1 2QG ⋅ fsw ⋅ VVCC2− VVEE2 ⋅ RG,ext, ON RDSON, H + RG,ext, ON + RG,int Psink, ext = 1 2QG ⋅ fsw ⋅ VVCC2 − VVEE2 ⋅ RDSON,L RDSON,L + RG,ext, OFF + RG,int (7)

8.6 Layout guidelines

Having a well-designed PCB layout is crucial to achieve optimal performance of the gate driver. Subsequently, this will ensure that the entire power electronic converter is operating at its best. Creating a well-designed PCB layout requires a certain level of attention and consideration to specific key factors. The following key points should be considered while designing the PCB layout using 2ED314xMC12L gate drivers:

  • The low ESR, low ESL type decoupling capacitor on the input side, must be placed close to the VCC1 and GND1 pins and then connected to the pins such that the decoupling loop is as short as possible. Similarly, the decoupling capacitors on the output side should be placed close to the VCC2A/B and VEE2A/B pins and connected to the pins with a short connection
  • It is crucial to minimize the physical area of the gate current loop that carries the current for charging and discharging the gate of the power transistor. The gate loop contain traces with high dv/dt and di/dt and having a short loop minimizes noise from the turn-on and off of the gates. Furthermore, a short loop also minimizes the stray inductance of the gate loop which improves the switching performance. To accomplish a short gate loop, the gate driver should be positioned near the power transistor, and the decoupling capacitors that store the energy for high peak currents should be located in close proximity to the gate driver
  • In order to reduce the stray inductance of the gate loop even further, wide traces can be used for the traces in the gate loop. Furthermore, the forward path and the return path of the currents can be routed parallel to each other on the same PCB layer or overlapping each other on adjacent PCB layer to achieve the least amount of stray inductance
  • In case of a unipolar power supply, the VEE2A/B pin of the gate driver should be connected to the Kelvin source/ emitter pin of the power transistor, if available. If the Kelvin pin is not available then the connection to the source/emitter should be as short as possible, starting from the device pin, in order to avoid the high current from the power transistor flowing in the gate loop
  • The area below the body of the gate driver package should be kept free of any traces to ensure the integrity of the safety isolation between the input and output side
  • It is recommended that the input signals of the gate driver connected to the INA and INB pins are kept away from any noisy traces. Although the 2ED314xMC12L comes with an integrated input filter that can filter high frequency noise on the input signal, an external RC filter with a small time constant can be placed close to these pins for enhanced filtering. Additionally, a ground plane is recommended below the input signal traces for shielding the signals from noise
  • The gate driver IC experiences power dissipation during system operation as explained in the previous chapters. This heat generated in the device will be dissipated mostly via the PCB. It is recommended to maximize the copper area connected to the VEE2A/B pins, in order to effectively dissipate the heat from the gate driver on to the PCB EiceDRIVER™ 2ED314xMC12L (2ED-X3 Compact) Datasheet
