One-stop-shop solution speeds design and certification

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/PowerIntegrations?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#PowerIntegrationslt;/agt;–Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI),
the leader in gate-driver technology for medium- and high-voltage
inverter applications, today announced a range of galvanically isolated
transformers that provide the correct voltage and power for the
company’s SCALE-iDriver™ family of gate drivers. The combination
delivers a simple, robust and cost-efficient DC-DC converter solution
that does not require additional voltage regulation, reducing system
cost and development time. The SIT12xxI
transformer and SCALE-iDriver ICs are fully UL and VDE approved.

The new SIT12xxI
transformers feature an innovative insulated construction that
improves reliability and delivers a high isolation capability combined
with low coupling capacitance. Devices suit both 600 V and 1200 V
two-channel SCALE-iDriver gate drivers with 5 V (SIT1253I) or 15 V
(SIT1217I) input voltages and 25 V output voltage. The shrouded
transformers weigh only 9 g and require no potting, but nonetheless pass
tests for extended field life and high resistance to shock and
vibration. They meet UL1446, UL61800-5-1, IEC61800-5-1, IEC61558-1 and
IEC61558-2-16.

Comments Thorsten Schmidt, product marketing manager for gate-driver
products at Power Integrations: “The SCALE-iDriver
family of IGBT and SiC-MOSFET driver ICs employs Power Integrations’
FluxLink™ magneto-inductive bi-directional communications technology to
ensure reinforced galvanic isolation between the primary and secondary
sides, setting a new standard in isolation integrity and stability. By
providing a perfectly matched transformer we reduce system development,
qualification and certification time, and also simplify the purchasing
process. The new design of the transformer construction targets
industrial applications, delivering a rugged and lightweight isolated
DC-DC solution while minimizing common-mode noise coupling.”

SIT12xxI
transformers are available now, priced at $4.00 in quantities of
10,000. Technical information is available from the Power Integrations
website at www.power.com/products/dc-dc-converters/sit12xxI.
