600-V IGBTs deliver higher power density

The IRG7RC10FD, IRG7IC30FD and IRG7SC12F are members of a family of 600-V insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) optimized for motor drive applications operating below 10 kHz including compressors for refrigerators and air-conditioners. They are the latest generation Gen7 F devices that employ punch-through trench technology to deliver high power density and the ability to optimize conduction and switching losses for a specific frequency of operation.

The IGBTs achieve low VCE(ON) to improve efficiency with zero temperature coefficient for high efficiency across the entire operating range. The devices also offer smoother switching to reduce EMI and overshoots, and are short-circuit rated for motor drive applications. The 600–V devices suit motor drive applications operating below 10 kHz. (Ea/10,000: IRG7SC12FPBF, $0.97; IRG7RC10FDPBF, $1.20; IRG7IC30FDPBF, $2.09 — available now.)
