IXYSPOWER NEW PRODUCT BRIEF Efficiency Through Technology 1200V GenX3™ IGBTs next generation 1200V igbts for power conversion applications march 2009

OVERVIEW

IXYS expands its GenX3TM insulated gate bipolar (IGBT) portfolio to 1200 volts. These new IGBTs are manufactured using IXYS’ state-of-the-art GenX3TM IGBT process and utilize IXYS’ advanced Punch-Through (PT) technology to provide lower saturation voltages, lower switching losses, and higher surge current capabilities. This new extension of GenX3TM IGBTs is a part of IXYS growing product line aimed at the high voltage power conversion market.

To accommodate optimum part selection, designers have a choice in selecting between three sub-classes denoted A3, B3, and C3. These classifications offer greater system design flexibility and the opportunity for designers to reach the best compromise between critical requirements such as switching frequency, efficiency, and cost. Co- packed variants of these new devices are available with IXYS’ HiPerFREDTM (suffix “D1”) and SONIC-FRDTM (suffix “H1”) ultra-fast recovery providing exceptional fast recovery and soft switching characteristics. These co-packed diodes minimize losses in hard switching applications, while maintaining superior soft recovery characteristics to minimize switching noise. Additional product attributes include avalanche capabilities and a square reverse bias safe operating area, allowing the device to safely in a snubberless hard switching application.

IXYS 1200V GenX3TM IGBTs are offered in various standard and ISOPLUS packages with collector current ratings @ Tc=110oC from 20 amperes to 120 amperes. Standard packages include the TO-263, TO-247, PLUS247, TO-220, TO-264 & TO-268. List of possible applications include solar inverters, automatic voltage regulators, industrial battery chargers, wind turbine inverters, discharge circuits, electronic circuit breakers, resonant power conversion circuits, induction heating for industrial processing, uninterruptible power supplies, motor drives, switch-mode power supplies, correction circuits, and welding machines.
