The SKYPER 42 R IGBT driver core constitutes an interface between IGBT modules and the controller. This core is a half-bridge driver with the basic functions built-in for driving, potential separation and protection. The SKYPER 42 R was developed for systems in the power range of 1 to 8 MVA. When using Semikron IGBT driver cores an adapter board (RS 905-6059) is required between the IGBT module and the gate driver core.
