SCALE™-2+ 2SC0435T  
Preliminary Description & Application Manual 

Dual-Channel High-power IGBT Driver 

Abstract 

The  new  SCALE™-2+  dual-driver  core  2SC0435T  combines  unrivalled  compactness  with  broad  applicability. 
The  driver  was  designed  for  universal  applications  requiring  high  reliability.  The  2SC0435T  drives  all  usual 

high-power  IGBT  modules  up  to  1700V.  The  embedded  paralleling  capability  allows  easy  inverter  design 
covering higher power ratings. Multi-level topologies are also supported. 

The 2SC0435T is the most compact driver core in its power range available for industrial applications, with a 

footprint  of  only  57.2mm  x  51.6mm  and  an  insertion  height  of  max.  20.5mm.  It  allows  even  the  most 
restricted insertion spaces to be efficiently used.
