Integrated IGBT-based power devices are optimized for use in green power, e-mobility and data center applications

The new IGBT 7 devices developed by Microchip Technology meet the increasing demands for higher efficiency, smaller size and higher performance in high-growth market segments such as sustainability, e-mobility and data centers. The devices integrate high-performance IGBTs with other key power components to simplify designs and provide efficient, cost-effective solutions for power applications in solar inverters, hydrogen ecosystems, commercial and agricultural vehicles, and more electric aircraft (MEA).

IGBT 7 devices are available in a wide range of packages, multiple topologies, and current and voltage ranges, and feature a lower IGBT on-state voltage (V_CE) and improved anti-parallel diode (lower V_F). Additionally, increased current carrying capacity can enable lower power losses, higher power density, and higher system efficiency.

For motor control applications where improved dv/dt controllability is important, the IGBT 7 devices are designed to provide freewheeling softness for efficient, smooth and optimized control of switches. These high-performance devices also aim to improve system reliability, reduce electromagnetic interference and minimize voltage spikes.

The series packages with lower inductance combined with the higher overload capability at T_vj Thanks to the high temperatures of −175 °C, these devices are well suited as options for creating robust and highly reliable aerospace and defense applications – such as propulsion, actuation and power distribution – at lower system costs.
