8.2.2.6 Desaturation (DESAT) Protection

A standard desaturation circuit can be applied to the DESAT pin. If the voltage of the DESAT pin is higher than the threshold VDESAT, the soft turn-off is initiated. A fault will be reported to the input side to DSP/MCU. The output is held to LOW after the fault is detected, and can only be reset by the RST/EN pin. The state-of-art overcurrent and short circuit detection time helps to ensure a short shutdown time for SiC MOSFET and IGBT.

If DESAT pin is not in use, it must be tied to COM to avoid overcurrent fault false triggering.

  • Fast reverse recovery high voltage diode is recommended in the desaturation circuit. A resistor is recommended in series with the high voltage diode to limit the inrush current. Multiple high voltage diodes can be placed in series to reduce the DESAT detection voltage as seen by the IGBT or SiC MOSFET based on the forward voltage drop.
  • A Schottky diode is recommended from COM to DESAT to prevent driver damage caused by negative voltage.
  • A Zener diode is recommended from COM to DESAT to prevent driver damage caused by positive voltage.
