Designed using the proprietary thin-wafer XPT™ technology and state-of-the-art IGBT process, these devices display qualities such as reduced thermal resistance, low tail current, low energy loss, and high-speed switching capability. Thanks to the positive temperature coefficient of their on-state voltage, these high-voltage IGBTs can be used in parallel, which provides cost-effective solutions compared to series-connected, lower-voltage devices. Consequently, this results in reduction in the associated gate drive circuitry, simplicity in design, and improvement in the reliability of the overall system.
The optional co-packed fast recovery diodes have low reverse recovery time and are optimized to produce smooth switching waveforms and significantly lower electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Advantages:
Higher efficiency
Elimination of multiple series-connected devices
Increased reliability of power systems
