Power components are evolving to satisfy the growing needs of power electronic systems for increased performance, reduced size, and increased efficiency. Microchip Technology announced its array of IGBT 7 devices, which are available in various packages, topologies, and current and voltage ranges to give system designers a broad range of power solutions.
Power components are evolving to meet the increasing demands for higher efficiency, smaller size and greater performance in power electronic systems. To provide system designers with a wide range of power solutions, Microchip Technology announces its portfolio of IGBT 7 devices offered in different packages, multiple topologies, and current and voltage ranges.
This new portfolio, which has smaller device sizes, reduced power losses, and enhanced power capability, is made to cater to high-growth market categories like data centers, E-mobility, and sustainability.
For power applications in solar inverters, hydrogen ecosystems, commercial and agricultural vehicles, and more electric aircraft (MEA), these high-performance IGBT 7 transistors are essential building blocks.
Designers can choose a power option that meets their needs. The IGBT 7 devices are available in SP6C, SP1F, and SP6LI packages in addition to the normal D3 and D4 62 mm packages. Three-level Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC), three-phase bridge, boost chopper, buck chopper, dual-common source, full-bridge, phase leg, single switch, and T-type are among the many topologies in which these combinations are possible. There are devices with voltages between 1200V and 1700V and current ranging from 50A to 900A.
Reduced power losses, increased power density, and improved system efficiency can be made possible by the reduced on-state IGBT voltage (Vce), enhanced antiparallel diode (lower Vf), and enhanced current capabilities.
These devices are great choices for developing tough and highly reliable aviation and defense applications, like propulsion, actuation, and power distribution, at a lower system cost because of their lower-inductance packaging and higher overload capability at Tvj ?175°C.
The IGBT 7 devices are intended to provide freewheeling softness for effective, seamless, and optimal driving of switches in motor control applications where improved dv/dt controllability is crucial. These high-performance devices also seek to eliminate voltage spikes, lower EMI, and increase system reliability.
