Product Brief 3rd Generation Reverse Conducting IGBT - Higher Efficiency and Better Reliability

Product Brief
3rd Generation Reverse Conducting IGBT
Higher Efficiency and Better Reliability
Features
The 3rd generation of reverse conducting IGBTs has been optimized for lower switching
and conduction losses. Reduced power dissipation together with soft switching
„„
Best-in-Class conduction properties
in VCE(sat) and Vf
„„
Lowest switching losses, highest
efficiency
„„
Tj(max) = 175°C
„„
Soft current turn-off waveforms for
low EMI
„„
Higher breakthrough voltage
VBR(min) = 1350V
behavior allows better thermal performance and EMI behavior resulting in lower system
costs. Excellent performance can be achieved at lower costs.
Infineon RC-H technology has set the benchmark of Tj(max) of 175°C to offer higher
lifetime reliability. Recent portfolio extension to 30A and 40A at 1200V and 1350V
defines the new trend for higher power density and better reliability devices.
40A 1350V device is capable for switching up to 50kHz with VCE(sat) value of 1.65V at
25°C – a staggering 5% lower loss than the next best competitor.

** 5% lower conduction losses than the best competitor in 1200V and 1350V
Performance: 1200V class devices offer Best-in-Class efficiency and thermal performance. 1350V IGBTs provide higher breakdown
margin while keeping similar VCE(sat) value as competitor 1200V devices.
Reliability: All the RC-H3 products are qualified with Tj(max) of 175°C while extended portfolio in 20A, 30A and 40A with VBR(min) of 1350V
provides designers higher reliability.
Logistics & Quality: Infineon is proven logistics partner, able to fulfill the highest demand requests.
