High-frequency 650 V IGBTs

29 May 2019 Power Electronics / Power Management

The STMicroelectronics HB2 650V IGBT series delivers efficiency and performance gains for medium- and high-speed applications such as PFC converters, welders, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and solar inverters, leveraging ST’s latest Trench Field Stop (TFS) technology. The series also includes automotive-eligible devices meeting AEC-Q101 Rev. D.

Joining the STPOWER portfolio, the new HB2 series has high conduction performance thanks to low VCEsat of 1,55 V. At the same time, dynamic behaviour is enhanced due to reduced gate charge that enables fast switching at low gate current.

The HB2 series can be specified with either a full-rated or half-rated diode, or a protection diode to prevent accidental reverse bias, giving extra freedom to optimise the behaviour for specific application needs.

The first of the new 650 V devices, the 40 A STGWA40HP65FB2, is available in the TO-247 long-lead package.
