Power Integrations today introduced the 1SP0350V SCALE™-2 single-channel +15/-10 V

plug-and-play gate driver. Optimally suited to high-reliability applications in the HVDC and

railway industries, the 1SP0350 gate driver reliably and safely drives 4500 V Press-Pack

IGBTs and IEGTs as well as other IGBT and IEGT form factors. Based on Power Integrations’

widely used SCALE™-2 chipset, the new driver is equipped with Dynamic Advanced Active

Clamping (DAAC), short-circuit protection, a built in DC-DC converter, regulated turn-on gate

drive voltage, DC-DC overload monitoring and supply voltage monitoring.

Comments Michael Hornkamp, senior director of marketing for high-power products at Power

Integrations: "These new devices are not limited by topology, package or the need for external

components. They are efficient, rugged and highly flexible, reducing design time and cost of

ownership."
