Options (1)

HFS

High Frequency Switching: External supply of auxiliary driver voltage (50-350 VDC according to type). Necessary if the specified “Maximum Operating Frequency” shall be exceeded. (2)

LP

Low Pass: Low pass filter at the control input. Propagation delay time will be increased by ~50 ns. Jitter + 500 ps.  Improved noise immunity and  less critical wiring in high speed applications. (3)

FAST

Faster Switching Times (-30 to -40%) due to increased driver power. Minimum on-times will be reduced by about 40 to 50%. For selected high current switches only. Please consult factory. (2)  

MIN-ON

Minimum On-Time: Individually increased Minimum On-Time to ensure a minimum on duration indepently of control signal.  For safety relevant circuits.

MIN-OFF

Minimum Off-Time: Individually increased Minimum Off-Time to ensure a minimum off duration indepently of control signal. For safety relevant circuits.

S-TT

Soft Transition Time: ”Turn-On Rise Time” & “Turn-Off Rise Time” increased by ~20%. Simplified EMC design and less critical wiring if the shortest possible edge steepness is not required. (3)

LL

Low Leakage Current: Off-state current reduced to less than 10%  of the specified value. Not available in connection with the cooling fin options and for switches of the UF series.

LN

Low Noise:  Internal power driver modified for zero noise emission for a specific period of time. Relevant in conjunction with sensitive detector amplifiers (e.g. SEV/MCP applications) only. (2)

ISO-25

25 kV Isolation:  Isolation Voltage increased to  25 kVDC. Housing dimensions may change for some models.

ISO-40

40 kV Isolation:  Isolation Voltage increased to  40 kVDC. Housing dimensions may change for some models.  Only in connection with option PT-HV.

ISO-80

80 kV Isolation:  Isolation Voltage increased to  80 kVDC. Housing dimensions may change for some models.  Only in connection with option PT-HV.

ISO-120

120 kV Isolation: Isolation Voltage increased to 120 kVDC. Housing dimensions may change for some models. Only in connection with option PT-HV.

ISO-200

200 kV Isolation: Isolation Voltage increased to 200 kVDC. Housing dimensions may change for some models. Only in connection with option PT-HV.

I-PC

Integrated Part Components: Integration of small part components according to customer’s specifications (e.g. buffer capacitors, snubbers, damping resistors, diodes, opto couplers). (2)

I-FWD

Integrated Free-Wheeling Diode:  Built-in parallel diode with short recovery time. In connection with inductive load only.

I-FWDN

Integrated Free-Wheeling Diode Network: Built-in parallel diode plus serial blocking diode  with short recovery time. In connection with inductive load only.

LS-C

LEMO socket for Control Connection. Input ipedance 100Ω. An assenbled linkage cable (1m/3ft) with two plugs plus one additional socket is included in supply. Improved noise immunity. (3)

PT-C

Pigtail for Control Connection: Flexible leads (l=75 mm) with PCB connector. This option is only relevant for switching modules with pins. Recommended for modules with options CF & GCF.

PT-HV

Pigtails for HV Connection: Flexible leads with cable lugs. For increased creepage. PT-HV is standard for all types with >25 kV switching voltage. Not recommended in extremely fast circuits.

ST-HV

Screw Terminals for HV Connection: Threaded inserts at the bottom of module (if not standard). For PCB design. Operation above 25 kV requires liquid insulation (Galden®/Oil) or potting.

UL94

Flame Retardant Casting Resin: Casting resin according to UL-94-VO. Minimum order quantity required. (2)

TH

Tubular Housing: Tubular instead of rectangular housing. Adaption to specific ambient conditions or in case  of difficult assembly situations. (2)

FC

Flat Case: Height of standard plastic housings reduced to 19 mm or less. Not in combination with cooling options CF, GCF and DLC.

ITC

Increased Thermal Conductivity: Special moulding process to increase the thermal conductivity of the module. P_d(max) will be increased by approx. 20-30%. (2)

C-DR

Cooling for Driver: Extra cooling for the driver and control electronics. Recommended in combination with option HFS at higher switching frequencies. (2)

GCF

Grounded Cooling Flange: Nickel-plated copper flange for medium power. Max. isolation voltage 40kV. Increased coupling capacitance C_C.

ILC

Indirect Liquid Cooling:  Liquid cooling for all kind of conductive coolants incl. water. Internal heat exchanger made of ceramics. For medium power dissipation.

DLC

Direct Liquid Cooling: Internal cooling channels arround the power semiconductors. The most efficient cooling for high frequency applications. Non-conductive coolants only.

HI-REL

High Reliability / MIL Versions:  Available on request. (2)

(1) New option code:  Data sheets may differ from this coding system (especially older ones) and do not indicate all possible options as per above table.    (2) Please consult factory for detailed information.
(3) These options are EMC-relevant and are recommended for industrial power applications,  difficult noise ambients,  prototype experiments with flying leads and for users without special EMC design experience.
