Data sheet
Dual-Channel High-quality and SCALE™-2 Driver Core
Abstract
The SCALE™-2 dual-driver core 2SD300C17A4 / 2SD300C17A4C (Coated version using ELPEGUARD SL 1307
FLZ/2 from Lackwerke Peters) is designed for applications in which high reliability is expected.
The use of Power Integrations' highly integrated SCALE-2 chipset allows 63% of the components to be
dispensed with compared to conventional drivers. This advantage is impressively reflected in increased
reliability (function and MTBF).
The 2SD300C17A4(C) combines a complete two-channel driver core with all components required for driving,
such as an isolated DC/DC converter, short-circuit protection, failure soft shut down, short pulse suppression
as well as supply voltage monitoring. Each of the two output channels is electrically isolated from the primary
side and the other secondary channel.
The driver provides a gate voltage swing of ±15V. An output current of 30A and 4W drive power is available
per channel.
Its outstanding EMC with a dv/dt strength of more than 50V/ns allows safe and reliable operation in even the
demanding industrial applications
