Infineon Technologies expands 1200 V 62 mm IGBT7 portfolio with new current rating modules

High flexibility for high power density and performance demands: Infineon expands 1200 V 62 mm IGBT7 portfolio with new current rating modules

[Munich, Germany, August 4, 2023] Infineon Technologies AG launches a portfolio of 62 mm half-bridge and common-emitter modules equipped with 1200 V TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 chips. The maximum current specification of the module is up to 800 A, expanding Infineon's product portfolio with a mature 62 mm package design. The increase in current output capability not only provides system designers with maximum flexibility when designing solutions with higher rated currents, but also provides higher power density and better electrical performance. The new module is specially developed to meet the needs of centralized solar inverters as well as industrial motor drives and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). In addition, it is also widely used in electric vehicle charging piles, energy storage systems (ESS) and other new industrial applications.

Based on the new micro-groove technology, the static losses of the 62 mm module series with 1200 V TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 chips are significantly lower than those of modules with IGBT4 chipsets. These features significantly reduce the losses in the application, especially in industrial motor drives operating at medium switching frequencies. The oscillation behavior and controllability of the IGBTs have also been improved. In addition, the maximum overload junction temperature of the new power modules is 175°C.

The robust nickel-plated copper baseplate and nut main terminals ensure sufficient mechanical strength for the 62 mm module package. The main terminals are located in the center of the package and are ideal for parallel circuits and three-level topology configurations due to their low DC link connection inductance. The standard package design and dimensions make the series compatible with previous module versions. In addition, all modules can use the proven pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM) from semiconductor technology company Infineon.

Availability

The 1200 V TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 62mm portfolio is available for order now. Models with pre-applied thermal interface material will be available soon.
