The recommended gate resistor value for the BSM15GD120DN2 is typically between 10 ohms to 20 ohms, depending on the specific application and switching frequency. However, it's recommended to consult the application note or contact Siemens support for more detailed guidance.
Proper thermal management for the BSM15GD120DN2 involves ensuring good heat transfer between the module and the heat sink, using a thermal interface material (TIM) with a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W/mK, and maintaining a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Additionally, ensure that the heat sink is designed to handle the maximum power dissipation of the module.
The maximum allowed voltage imbalance between the DC-link capacitors for the BSM15GD120DN2 is typically ±5% of the nominal DC-link voltage. Exceeding this limit can lead to uneven stress on the IGBTs and reduced reliability.
Yes, the BSM15GD120DN2 can be used in a parallel configuration, but it's essential to ensure that the modules are matched in terms of their electrical characteristics, and that the gate drive signals are properly synchronized. Additionally, the user should consult the application note or contact Siemens support for more detailed guidance on parallel operation.
The recommended dead-time for the BSM15GD120DN2 is typically between 1 us to 3 us, depending on the specific application and switching frequency. However, it's recommended to consult the application note or contact Siemens support for more detailed guidance.
