DESCRIPTION VLA574 is a hybrid integrated circuit designed for driving
n-channel IGBT modules in any gate-amplifier application. This device operates as an isolation amplifier for these modules and provides the required electrical isolation between the input and output with an opto-coupler. Target IGBT modules:
VCES = 600V series up to 600A class VCES = 1200V series up to 1400A class VCES = 1700V series up to 1400A class
FEATURES >Output peak current is +/-15A(max) >SIP structure allows more space on mother board >Built in short circuit protection >Electrical isolation voltage is 4000Vrms (for 1 minute) >Built in gate shut down speed control circuit
(When short circuit protection work.
