Reliability is one of the most important issues for any industrial product. There
protections in the IGBT gate-drive board that protect the IGBT from over-volta

theres a short circuit in the load, the current can instantaneously increase to s
amperes. Over-current protection in the circuit detects the large current and tu

The protection circuit senses the Vce and turns on the reaction circuit. One of
the protection to work properly is the IGBT module turn-off delay and fall time,
important to have an accurate IGBT model. The other key factor is selecting c

The attenuation of the spectrum depends on two factors of the square wave: t
frequency depends on pulse width, and the second corner frequency depends

While just two applications have been outlined here, Saber is used to simulate
subsystems to investigate EMI for a variety of control boards.
