Higher resistance reduces free-wheeling diode peak recovery current, increases IGBT turn-on time.
Higher resistance reduces turn-off peak voltage, increases turn-off time and turn-off power dissipation

PIN array
Fig. 2 shows the pin arrays. The input side (primary side) comprises 10 inputs (SKHI 22A / 21A 8 inputs), forming the
interface to the control circuit (see fig.1).
The output side (secondary side) of the hybrid driver shows two symmetrical groups of pins with 4 outputs, each forming
the interface to the power module. All pins are designed for a grid of 2,54 mm.

ATTENTION:
Inputs P6 and P5 are not existing for SKHI 22A/ 21A. The contactor tracks of the digital input signals P5/
P6/ P9 must not be longer than 20 mm to avoid interferences, if no bridges are connected.
