IXYS POWER Efficiency through Technology NEW 600V GenX3™ IGBTs PRO D UC T 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. www.ixys.com B R I EF ISOPLUSTM Packages with Internal Alumina DCB Isolation* DCB Ceramic Bond wires Copper Copper Solder Leads Chip Mould Provides 2500V, UL recognized isolation with superior thermal performance (E153432).

This Q4 circuit topology is composed of four stages: A) Rectifier Q1 stage, B) PFC & Boost stage, C) Power stage, and D) C1 D3 D4 Output stage. Input power from a power grid enters PFC Controller Q3 Q5 the rectification stage to be rectified to a DC value and is processed via a power factor correction boost converter. From there it enters the power stage which Gate Drive Controller Output Stage Vout+ employs a full bridge inverter to convert the voltage Step Down Transformer D6 back to AC at high frequencies typically from 50Khz L2 R1 to 100Khz. The AC signal is then stepped down via T1 C4 R2 Work Clamp C3 C2 transformer which then gets rectified and smoothed D7 C5 out at the output stage. AC Motor Drive (Resonant DC Link Inverter) The figure on the right illustrates an AC motor drive that utilizes a resonant DC link inverter. A C1 Q7 resonant link (L1, C2) is affixed to the DC bus line of a pulse width modulation inverter. The resonant L1 link is then ‘excited’ and maintains resonance Q1 through the control of the IGBTs in a way that the resonating dc voltage bus frequently reaches 3-Phase AC zero volts. The IGBTs are turned on and off at zero voltage and are synchronized to match the Vs Q3 Q5 Motor C2 Q2 Q4 Q6 zero voltage crossings to achieve the desired low switching loss. An active clamp circuit (Q7, C1) is added to clamp down unwanted overshoot when Gate Drive Controller the DC inverter current decreases abruptly caused by the switching behavior of the IGBTs.
