3D STEP files & models aim to speed IGBT system design

SCALE-2 IGBT gatedrivers use an ASIC chipset to reduce component count and size, and increase performance, scalability and reliability. This enables designers to optimize dynamic switching performance, accuracy and functionality, providing design flexibility and reducing time-to-market for applications ranging from 150A to 3600A and 600V to 6500V. 3D STEP models are used by design engineers to check if there are mechanical conflicts between the driver and other parts of the system. This is especially useful if the design is mechanically very dense.

Comments Oliver Garcia, Director Product Development at CONCEPT: “The STEP format is widely used and allows designers to mechanically model our gate drivers accurately. Also, the new 3D interactive models enable users to view and rotate the driver on-screen so that they can get a better impression of the overall mechanical construction. These two initiatives will help our customers speeding up the mechanical design process.”
