3. Determination of Shunt Resistance
(1) Shunt resistance
The value of current sensing resistance is calculated by the following formula:
where V
is the SC trip voltage.
SC(ref)
The maximum SC trip level SC(max) should be set less than the IGBT minimum saturation current which is
1.7 times as large as the rated current. For example, the SC(max) of PSS10S72FT should be set to
10x1.7=17A. The parameters (V
level.
For example of PSS10S72FT, there is +/-0.03V dispersion in the spec of V

D
Then, the range of SC trip level can be calculated by the following expressions:
So the SC trip level range is described as Table 2-2-2.

at Tj=25 °C, V
(e.g. 30mΩ (R
There is the possibility that the actual SC protection level becomes less than the calculated value. This is
considered due to the resonant signals caused mainly by parasitic inductance and parasitic capacity. It is
recommended to make a confirmation of the resistance by prototype experiment.
(2) RC Filter Time Constant
It is necessary to set an RC filter in the SC sensing circuit in order to prevent malfunction of SC protection
due to noise interference. The RC time constant is determined depending on the applying time of noise
interference and the SCSOA of the DIPIPM.
When the voltage drop on the external shunt resistor exceeds the SC trip level, The time (t1) that the CIN
terminal voltage rises to the referenced SC trip level can be calculated by the following expression:

Vsc : the CIN terminal input voltage, Ic : the peak current, τ : the RC time constant
On the other hand, the typical time delay t2 (from Vsc voltage reaches Vsc(ref) to IGBT gate shutdown) of
IC is shown in Table 2-2-3.
Therefore, the total delay time from an SC level current happened to the IGBT gate shutdown becomes:
