Automotive-qualified IGBTs

18 April 2012 Power Electronics / Power Management

International Rectifier has launched a family of automotive-qualified 600 V IGBTs optimised for variable speed motor control and power supply applications used in electric and hybrid vehicles.

The new devices cover a broad current range and offer a short circuit rating of ≥ 5 s, low Vce(on) and positive Vce(on) temperature coefficient for various motor drive systems from electric air conditioning to main traction inverters requiring high power density from 24 to 160 A. Additional features common to the family include square reverse bias safe operating area (SRBSOA), integrated soft recovery diode and maximum junction temperature of 175°C.

Featuring low conduction and switching losses, the IGBTs are subject to dynamic and static part average testing combined with 100% automated wafer level visual inspection as part of IR’s automotive quality initiative targeting zero defects. The new devices are all environmentally friendly and assembled with IR’s automotive-grade bill of materials which are lead-free and RoHS compliant.
