Infineon increases maximum current in IGBT7 portfolio
Infineon Technologies has introduced a 62mm half bridge and common emitter module with 800A maximum current to extend its 1200V 62mm IGBT7 portfolio.
The 62mm module with 1200V Trenchstop IGBT7 chips is tailored to meet the needs of solar central inverters as well as industrial drive applications and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), advised Infineon. EV charging, energy storage systems (ESS) and other new industrial applications can also be covered, said the company.
Based on the new micro-pattern trench technology, the 62mm module family with the 1200V Trenchstop IGBT7 chip has significantly lower static losses compared to the modules with the IGBT4 chipset, reported Infineon. This results in “significant loss reduction” particularly in industrial drives that typically operate at moderate switching frequencies. The IGBT’s oscillation behaviour and controllability have also been improved in this generation and the power modules feature a maximum overload junction temperature of 175 degrees C.
Construction includes a solid, nickel-coated copper baseplate and screw main terminals to ensure high mechanical robustness of the 62mm module housing. The main terminals are located in the centre of the housing, making them well suited for parallel circuits and three-level configurations due to the low inductive DC link connection. The standard package design and dimensions are unchanged within the module family to support mechanical compatibility with the previous module. All modules are available with Infineon’s pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM).
The 1200V Trenchstop IGBT7 62mm portfolio is available for order now. Variants with pre-applied TIM will also be available shortly.
