Infineon Technologies Next Generation Reverse Conducting IGBTs
Infineon Technologies 650V/1200V/1350V/1600V Next Generation Reverse Conducting IGBTs combine the performance of the TRENCHSTOP™ family with the innovative reverse conducting RC-H IGBT technology to create a generation of best-in-class devices. The devices provide increased switching frequency, low power dissipation, and improved thermal management for higher reliability.
The innovative TRENCHSTOP IGBT protected series combines a 20A 1350V IGBT in RC-H5 technology with a unique protecting gate driver IC together in a TO-247 6-pin package for induction cooking applications. The RC-H5 650V devices have been optimized for the lowest VCE(sat) for best efficiency and thermal performance and lower Eoff for improved performance in designs with higher switching frequencies. The 30A 1600V RC-H5 completes the latest RC-H5 generation of reverse-conducting IGBTs developed and optimized for the rigorous requirements of induction cooking applications.
The RC-H5 IGBTs feature a monolithically integrated diode that is ideal for soft switching applications such as induction cooking stoves, inverterized microwave ovens, and rice cookers.
