ACPL-352J Reference Manual Infineon EconoPIM™ 3 IGBT Module EB1200-352J Evaluation Board WARNING! Due to the technical requirements, high voltage components are used, and some of them could contain dangerous substances. Because the failure of such components can harm the user and even endanger the user's life, it is necessary to take all necessary precautions and safety measures prior to the evaluation of the EB1200-352J.
The design is tested, as described in this document, at the temperature of 25°C, but it is not qualified regarding operation in the entire operating ambient temperature range of ACPL-352J, or its lifetime. The board is subjected to functional testing only.

Figure 7 shows the both the low-voltage and high-voltage side gate driver circuit.
VDD2, LED current (IF) and overcurrent (OC) conditions. For the details related to the logic truth table of these outputs, refer to the ACPL-352J data sheet. The driver provides an ideal solution combining local overcurrent detection (OC), soft shutdown (SS) with high-speed current output and highp-voltage optical isolation.

OC(BLANKING) during an OC fault condition. Figure 11: Circuit Behaviors during an Overcurrent Condition. The diagram is the same as in the ACPL-352J data sheet. The OC terminal monitors the voltage between the collector and the emitter (V ) of the IGBT. When this voltage exceeds 9V, the output voltages (VOUTP and VOUTN) go to high impedance state and the SS pulls down the VGATE at a slow rate adjustable using the resistor.
4A. The next step in choosing the correct gate resistor is to check the power dissipation of the ACPL-352J gate driver. If the power dissipation is too high, the resistance of the gate resistor should be increased. For detailed instructions on choosing the gate resistor, refer to the ACPL-352J data sheet.
