next generation 600V IGBTs for power conversion applications
january 2009
OVERVIEW
IXYS extends its GenX3TM insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) product line to
600 volts. These new IGBTs are manufactured using IXYS’ state-of-the-art GenX3TM
IGBT process and utilize IXYS’ advanced Punch-Though (PT) technology, tailored
to provide higher surge current capabilities, lower saturation voltages, and lower
switching losses.
To accommodate optimum part selection, designers have a choice in selecting
between three sub-classes denoted A3, B3, and C3. These classifications allow
designers to “dial in” the best compromise between static (conduction) and
dynamic (switching) losses, improving over-all system efficiency in a variety of
power conversion applications by balancing critical requirements such as switching
frequency, efficiency, and cost structure. The A3-Class are optimized for low
saturation voltage V(sat) and are well suited for applications requiring switching
frequencies up to 5kHz. Similarly, the B3-Class offers low saturation voltages, but
is optimized to accommodate applications that require “medium speed” switching
operation from 5kHz to 40kHz. The C3-Class is optimized for “high speed” switching
operation from 40kHz to 100kHz and resonant switching operation of up to
400kHz.
IXYS 600V GenX3TM IGBTs are offered in various standard packages, including the
full gamut of surface mount and discrete packages with current ratings from 36
amperes to 210 amperes. Furthermore, some devices will be offered in PLUS and
ISOPLUS isolated packages, featuring UL recognized 2500V isolation and superior
thermal performance. Co-Packed variants of these new devices are available with
IXYS’ HiPerFREDTM ultra-fast recovery diodes providing exceptional fast recovery
and soft switching characteristics.
These IGBTs are designed to achieve the optimal solution in applications such as
power inverters, UPS, motor drives, SMPS, PFC, battery chargers, welding machines,
lamp ballasts, inrush current protection circuits and DC choppers.
