(with the external shunt resistance and CR connection)

c1 : Normal operation: IGBT ON and carrying current.

c2 : Short circuit current detection (SC trigger).

c3 : Hard IGBT gate interrupt.

c4 : IGBT turns OFF.

c6 : Input “L” : IGBT OFF state.

c7 : Input “H”: IGBT ON state, but during the active period of fault output the IGBT doesn’t turn ON.

c8 : IGBT OFF state
