The new 1200V and 600V IGBT HighSpeed 3 family, optimized in every respect
Applications
The new 1200V and 600V 3 Generation HighSpeed IGBT family is optimized
for hard- and soft-switching topologies. The family sets a new benchmark for
switching losses and is recommended for use in topologies switching at more
than 20kHz.
rd
The very short tail-current, and low turn off losses (25% less then the closest
competitor) are the key features of this new family and up to 15% efficiency can
be attained by implementing this family in your design.
Not only does the family offer very low switching losses, the conduction losses
are also very low. This is thanks to the world famous TRENCHSTOPTM technology
from Infineon that has an intrinsically very low Vce(sat) behavior.
Meanwhile the free wheeling diode in the duo packs is a 4th generation emitter
controlled diode and is optimized for fast recovery whilst maintaining a high
level of softness. This provides excellent complementary high speed switching
performance, ruggedness and EMI behavior.
Paired with the HighSpeed 3 IGBT you have the best device on the market.
Infineon introduces a new family of 1200V and 600V IGBTs optimized for
high-frequencyapplications which provide benchmark performance in terms of
switching losses and efficiency.

At 40A, Tj = 150°C, the IFX device provides 15% lower losses.
Thanks to the higher Tjmax and lower losses, for a fixed Tc = 100°C
the KW device can run up to 50% higher Load Current than best
competitor’s device.
