Application
The IXBD4410/4411 chipset devices
are specifically designed as MOS-
gated transistor drivers in half-bridge
power converters, 1- and 3-phase
motor controls, and UPS applications.
The phase-leg PWM command is
normally generated by previous (user
provided) circuitry. It must be
decomposed into two separate logic
signals, one for the high-side and one
for the low-side power transistors, with
appropriate deadtime for each state
transition. The deadtime insures non-
overlapping conduction even if the
turn-on and turn-off delay times of the
power devices are unequal. The
minimum deadtime should be greater
than t
device like the IXYS deadtime
generator IXDP630, can be used to
perform this function. The
ISOSMART™ chipset family of
devices do not generate deadtime,
although there is an internal lockout
that prohibits one device form being
commanded "on" before the other is
commanded "off". This simplifies start-
up and shutdown protection circuitry,
preventing logic error during power-up
from turning on both high-and low-side
transistors simultaneously.
Negative V
Design
The on-chip V
the IXBD4410/4411 generates a nega-
tive power supply, regulated at 20 V
below the positive V
V, V
will be -5 V. This negative drive
potential in the off-state is either
desirable or required in many in-
stances. When switching a clamped
inductive load (Fig. 5), the turn-on of
Q2 will commutate the freewheeling
diode around Q1. Whether this diode is
intrinsic (as in a MOSFET) or extrinsic
(IGBT or bipolar), its reverse recovery
is critical to proper circuit operation.
At high turn-on di/dt in Q2 and near its
rated voltage, the recovery of D1 can
get quite "snappy" (the di/dt in the
second half of the recovery process,
after the diode has begun to recover its
blocking capability, can get very large),
creating a very high dv/dt across Q1.
This dv/dt is impressed across the
Miller capacitance of Q1, forcing a
large current to flow out the gate

The Q1 conduction in every instance
Q2 is turned on (and vice versa), aside
from degrading efficiency, can lead to
catastrophic failure of both power
transistors. At high temperature, where

reduces the voltage required to create
a failure, this problem is even more
likely to occur. In an industrial module
package (e.g.: a 150 A/1200 V IGBT
phase-leg module), the series induc-
tance contributed by the long gate
leads and connectors further compli-
cate the design.
In a heavily snubbered converter, or in
a power supply design with low
transformer leakage inductance, the
design problem is relatively simple and
negative drive is seldom required.
However, in a modern snubberless or
lightly snubbered converter design, it is
important to keep the gate drive
impedance high enough during
transistor turnoff to limit the reapplied
dv/dt (the transistor is its own 'active'
snubber). This is always important for
EMI control, and in the case of IGBT
may be required to achieve the
necessary RBSOA. At the same time, it
is mandatory to keep the off-state gate
drive impedance very low to assure the
transistor remain off during induced
dv/dt (including diode recovery dv/dt).
In some instances, it is simply not
possible to satisfy both criteria with 0 V
applied in the off-state. In these cases
the IXBD4410/4411 with V
bias generator must be used.
