6.3.1 IGBT Collector-emitter sustaining voltage (VCE*sus):IGBT集电极-发射极维持电压
6.3.1.1 目的
The purpose is to ensure that the collector-emitter sustaining voltage of an
IGBT is not less than the maximum specified value
VCE*sus under specified conditions.文章来源:http://www.igbt8.com/jc/172.html

6.3.1.3 电路描述及要求
The IGBT is operated in a saturated condition under pulse operation.
Due to the inductance
L, switching off the gate voltage causes the IGBT to be swept through a current-voltage cycle.
The voltage source
VCC1 is adjustable; it enables the collector current to be set to the specified value.
A voltage clamping unit, indicated in Figure 11 as a variable voltage source
VCC2 in series with a diode, limits the voltage
VCE.
VCC2 is set to the expected value of
VCE*sus.
The minimum value of load inductance
L may be given in the detail specification; otherwise, it may be calculated from
Lmin = (
VCC2 –
VCC1) *
toff / 0,1
IC
This ensures that
IC does not drop by more than 10% during
toff.
6.3.1.4 测试流程
The clamping unit is adjusted to operate at the specified minimum value
VCE*sus. With voltage
VCC1 set at zero,
VGE is adjusted so that the specified current
IC can be reached with a
VCE value in the saturated condition (point A in Figure 12).
The value
VCC1 is progressively increased until the specified current
IC is reached for the expected
VCE*sus (point B in Figure 12). As a result, the current at which the cycle starts may reach a value
I0 slightly higher than the specified current
IC (point A′ of Figure 12).

6.3.1.5 注意事项
In a preliminary test, the action of the clamping unit should be verified by decreasing its adjustable voltage
V2; then the clamping unit should be adjusted to the desired value of
VCE that corresponds to the specified current
IC (point B of Figure 12).转载请注明出处:http://www.igbt8.com/
6.3.1.6 要求
– The IGBT is satisfactory when the trace moving from point B to point C does not pass to the left of the line BC.
– When the clamping unit is not used, the IGBT is satisfactory if the trace effectively turns around point B, as shown in Figure 12.
