The circuit shown in Figure 21-A depicts one leg of the three phase inverter; Figure 21Figure 21-B and 19-C show
a simplified illustration of the commutation of the current between Q1 and D2. The parasitic inductances in the
power circuit from the die bonding to the PCB tracks are lumped together in LC and LE for each IGBT. When the
high-side switch is on, VS1 is below the DC+ voltage by the voltage drops associated with the power switch and
the parasitic elements of the circuit. When the high-side power switch turns off, the load current momentarily
flows in the low-side freewheeling diode due to the inductive load connected to VS1 (the load is not shown in
these figures). This current flows from the DC- BUS (which is connected to the COM pin of the HVIC) to the load
and a negative voltage between VS1 and the DC- BUS is induced (i.e., the COM pin of the HVIC is at a higher
potential than the VS pin).

NTSOA – Negative Transient Safe Operating Area
In a typical motor drive system, dV/dt is typically designed to be in the range of 3 – 5 V / ns. The negative VS
transient voltage can exceed this range during some events such as short circuit and over-current shutdown,
when di/dt is greater than in normal operation.
Infineon’s HVICs have been designed for the robustness required in many of today’s demanding applications. An
indication of the 2ED21091S06F’s robustness can be seen in Figure 22, where the 2ED21091S06F’s Safe Operating
Area is shown at VBS=15 V based on repetitive negative VS spikes. A negative VS transient voltage falling in the
grey area (outside SOA) may lead to IC permanent damage; viceversa unwanted functional anomalies or
permanent damage to the IC do not appear if negative Vs transients fall inside the SOA.
