Such excessive component values may lead to device damage due to the large resultant values of snubber discharge current. If required, please consult the factory for assistance. 6.0 Rate of rise of on-state current The maximum un-primed rate of rise of on-state current must not exceed 300A/s at any time during turnon on a non-repetitive basis. For repetitive performance, the on-state rate of rise of current must not exceed 150A/s at any time during turn-on. Note that these values of rate of rise of current apply to the total device current including that from any local snubber network. 7.0 Gate Drive The nominal requirement for a typical gate drive is illustrated below. An open circuit voltage of at least 30V is assumed. This gate drive must be applied when using the full di/dt capability of the device. IGM 4A/s IG tp1 The magnitude of IGM should be between five and ten times IGT, which is shown on page 2. Its duration (tp1) should be 20s or sufficient to allow the anode current to reach ten times IL, whichever is greater. Otherwise, an increase in pulse current could be needed to supply the necessary charge to trigger. The `back-porch' current IG should remain flowing for the same duration as the anode current and have a magnitude in the order of 1.5 times IGT. Rating Report.
