Firstack 2FHD0320C
High-Reliability Dual-Channel IGBT Gate Driver
Firstack 2FHD0320C
A highly reliable dual-channel plug-and-play gate driver for 1200V and 1700V IGBT modules in PrimePACK™ 3/3+ packages. Features advanced monitoring and protection for high-power applications.
Distributor's Review & Application Insight
FAE Insight: The 2FHD0320C is the workhorse for high-power industrial and wind applications using PrimePACK™ modules. Its key strength is the comprehensive set of feedback and monitoring functions accessible via its electrical interface. This allows for advanced system diagnostics and preventative maintenance, which is invaluable in mission-critical systems. The Active Clamping feature is particularly effective at protecting expensive IGBT modules during fault conditions. We often recommend this to clients upgrading legacy systems or designing new, high-reliability inverters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the advantage of electrical interface over fiber optic?
A: The electrical interface provides bidirectional communication, allowing not only control signals but also feedback from the driver about fault conditions, temperature, and operational status. This is valuable for system monitoring and diagnostics.
Q: Can this driver handle paralleling of IGBT modules?
A: While primarily designed for single module operation, careful design can allow paralleling. However, we recommend consulting with our FAE team for guidance on current sharing and protection coordination.
