Infineon Technologies introduces the new CoolSiC™ MOSFETs 2000 V in the TO-247PLUS-4-HCC package.
The Infineon MOSFET 2000 V is said to meet designers’ demand for increased power density. Designers will also not have to compromise the system’s reliability even under demanding high voltage and switching frequency conditions.
The CoolSiC MOSFETs by Infineon offer:
- Higher DC link voltage so that the power can be increased without increasing the current.
- First discrete silicon carbide device with a breakdown voltage of 2000 V on the market. Comes in a TO-247PLUS-4-HCC package with a creepage distance of 14 mm and clearance distance of 5.4 mm.
- The CoolSiC MOSFET 2000 V product family is ideally suited for high DC link systems with up to 1500 VDC.
- Compared to 1700 V SiC MOSFETs, the devices also provide a sufficiently high overvoltage margin for 1500 VDC
The CoolSiC MOSFETs deliver a benchmark gate threshold voltage of 4.5 V and are equipped with a robust body diode for hard commutation.
Due to the .XT connection technology, the components offer first-class thermal performance. They are also highly resistant to humidity.
CoolSiC Diodes Launch Announced
In addition to the CoolSiC MOSFETs 2000 V, Infineon will soon be launching the matching CoolSiC diodes: The first launch will be the 2000 V diode portfolio in the TO-247PLUS 4-pin package in the third quarter of 2024, followed by the 2000 V CoolSiC diode portfolio in the TO-247-2 package in the final quarter of 2024. These diodes are particularly suitable for solar applications. A matching gate driver portfolio is also available.
Availability
The CoolSiC MOSFET 2000 V product family is available now. In addition, Infineon also offers a suitable evaluation board: the EVAL-COOLSIC-2KVHCC. Developers can use the board as a precise universal test platform to evaluate all CoolSiC MOSFETs and diodes 2000 V and the EiceDRIVER™ Compact Single Channel Isolated Gate Driver 1ED31xx product family through double pulse or continuous PWM operation.
