DCP010505B: output voltage drop 400ms for unknown reason

Part Number: DCP010505B

I use DCP010505B to GaN-base half bridge topology's driver Vcc. when the bus voltage near to 200V, DCP010505B's output will be drop to 0V, after 400ms DCP010505 will work again.

Did DCP010505 have some application restrictions, like CMTI problem or others ? 

Irregular

  • Hi Wayne:

    DCP010505B and DCP series is not designed to Drive GA  half bridge.

    DCP01 series cannot be used with IGBT gate driver circuitry in   DC continuous mode or frequency controlled with voltages exceeding SELV limit. ( See below)

    See DCP01 Isolation statement from DCP01 specification paragraph 8.3 Description Isolation attached.

    Isolation Voltage applications. For a device that has no specific safety agency approvals (operational isolation), the continuous voltage that can be applied across the part in normal operation is less than 42.4 VRMS, or 60 VDC. Ensure that both input and output voltages maintain normal SELV limits.

    The isolation test voltage represents a measure of immunity to transient voltages.

    WARNING does not use this device as an element of the safety Isolation system when SELV is exceeded.

     

    External continuous voltage difference limits are defined as voltages as measured between VIN (-) and Vout (-) ground). The converter is designed as ground fault isolation device. It is not designed to operate with a continuous voltage isolation barrier at greater than 60VDC. The isolation 1 second 1kv production test validates only the magnetic coating separation between primary and secondary transformer wire.

    The maximum potential difference ( Vin(+) to Vout ground ) as referenced to  a common ground is limited to continuous 60V DC or 42V Peak AC transient between Vin(-) and Output ( ground) . . The primary and secondary transformer wires will contact each other separated by magnet wire over-coating. The transformer wires are single coating material and not dual coated. The UL listing, E199929, voltage limits are SELV or 60VDC continuous or 42V transient peak.

    Specification DCP01 Electrical Characteristics paragraph 7.5 identifies under isolation limits maximum Continuous working voltage
