Title: Driver for IGBT G40N60UFD
Post by: upeguiborja on July 25, 2019, 10:06:05 pm

Hi,

I'm currently building my first Tesla Coil, A SSTC based on the design this guide (https://www.loneoceans.com/labs/sstc2/ (https://www.loneoceans.com/labs/sstc2/)), It has been a little hard for me to source the IGBTs and the ICs locally but finally today i was able to buy a couple of G40N60UFD IGBTs for the coil.
The issue is i cannot find the Driver which is recommended in the guide (UCC27425) nor the (IC DS1233D-5+) IC, any of you have any recommendation for replacement components?.

I've seen IR2110, MIC4425YN and MD1810K6 on local stores, but i don't know which suits the guide topology and characteristics better.
and for the DS1233D i have no hope.

Any tips would be helpful. Thanks
