Interface
IGBT protector circuit
1. Detection of increase in V
CE(sat)
of IGBT due to overcurrent by means of C-terminal (
9
terminal)
2. Reduction of the IGBT gate voltage, and suppression of the collector current
3. Simultaneous issue of signals to indicate the shortcircuit condition (FS signal) from FS terminal to the microcomputer
In the case of instantaneous shortcircuit, run continues.
4. Judgement and processing by the microcomputer
At fault, input to the photocoupler is cut off, and IGBT is turned OFF.
