Product Brief RC-H5: Next Generation Reverse Conducting IGBT Higher Efficiency and Better Reliability The newest generation of reverse conducting IGBTs has been optimized for the rigorous requirements of Induction Cooking applications. The new 20A RC-H5 devices complement the previous generation of reverse conduction IGBTs and extend the performance leadership of the RC-H family, focusing on system efficiency and reliability. RC-H5 offers up to 30% reduction in switching losses, allowing designers to use higher frequencies. With this increased switching frequency comes the flexibility of higher efficiency or system cost reductions from smaller coil choices. Improvements in thermal performance and reduced power dissipation, even under higher ambient temperatures and stress conditions, result in better reliability. Soft switching capabilities result in better EMI behavior leading to less filtering requirements and lower system costs. Key Features Switching losses reduced by 30% low conduction losses Reduced turn-on current spike up to 10% T = 175°C j(max) Soft current turn-off waveforms for low EMI Higher blocking voltage VBR(min) = 1350V Very Key Benefits The RC-H5 family is offered in two versions with blocking voltages of 1200V and 1350V. Increased switching frequency power dissipation Better thermal management for higher reliability Lower EMI filtering requirements Reduced system costs Highest reliability against peak currents Lowest IGBT power losses Standard single-ended cooking system Pin = 1.9kW and fsw = 30kHz IGBT power losses in [W] 25.00 20.00 15.00 20.1 1.7 19.1 2.0 22.6 2.0 6.3 23.8 2.0 7.5 Applications 10.00 5.00 0.00 Switching Conduction 7.4 5.8 Diode 11.3 11.1 IHW20N135R5 IHW20N135R3 www.infineon.com/rch5 14.3 14.3 Best comp. 1 Best comp. 2 Induction cooking stoves Inverterized microwave ovens Induction rice cookers Induction water heaters Other resonant switching topologies Product Brief RC-H5: Next Generation Reverse Conducting IGBT Higher Efficiency and Better Reliability The RC-H5 devices offer significant reductions in switching losses, up to 30%. These lower losses allow systems to operate at higher switching frequencies. An increase in frequency allows designers to optimize for their unique system needs. System Example Switching frequency increase from 23kHz to 30kHz, with same power losses in the device RC-H5 offers these flexible design possibilities: Options for Design Optimizations System efficiency Improvement up to 0.5% (>90% total system) System cost reduction Smaller inductance and coil/copper amount saves up to 10% in coil costs Lower cooling effort For a 1.9kW system, Tcase can be reduced by 2°C, and under high ambient temperatures up to 12°C, resulting in less thermal stress and better reliability.
