IGBT Modules minimize power loss in industrial applications.

September 10, 2004 - With optimized on-state loss (VCE(sat)) versus turn-off switching loss (Eoff), 50 A Model FMG2G50US120 and 75 A Model FMG2G75US120 feature full, 10 µsec short-circuit withstand time and square reverse biased safe operating area. Model FMG2G75US120 provides max variation of 0.1 V from 25–125°C. Both 1,200 V modules are available in 2-PAK module packaging and are UL certified.

Fairchild Semiconductor's New 1200V IGBT Modules Enable Extremely Low Power Loss in Industrial Applications

South Portland, Maine-September 7, 2004-Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) introduces two 1200V, 50A- and 75A-rated IGBT modules. With optimized on-state loss (VCE(sat)) versus turn-off switching loss (Eoff), the FMG2G50US120 and FMG2G75US120 provide remarkably low overall power loss in welding machines, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and general inverters in the 10kHz-30kHz operating frequency range. Fairchild's FMG2G75US120 decreases power losses by up to 20% compared to competitive parts utilizing non punch-through (NPT) technology. (Test conditions in a CO2 welding application yielded significant results: 20kHz switching frequency, 380V 3-phase input, 300A output, 40A current peak at full load, and 20% duty max at full load.) To fulfill the high reliability requirements in targeted industrial applications, Fairchild's new 1200V IGBT power modules also provide an exceptionally low variation of VCE(sat) over temperature. The 75A-rated FMG2G75US120 provides a maximum variation of only 0.1V from 25 to 125 degrees Celsius. Both 1200V devices feature a full, 10 microsecond short circuit withstand time and square reverse biased safe operating area (RBSOA) to enhance system ruggedness.

The newly released 1200V IGBT modules enhance Fairchild's growing IGBT module portfolio. These modules include the market's only 600V/300A and 400A low saturation IGBT modules, specifically designed for the secondary side of AC/DC arc welding machines, as well as 600V/50~400A standard IGBT modules.

The FMG2G50US120 and FMG2G75US120 are available in 2-PAK module packaging and are UL certified. The introduction of 1200V IGBT modules broadens Fairchild's portfolio of products targeting industrial applications including a variety of solutions for AC/DC conversion, DC/AC conversion, motion and speed control, isolation, data acquisition, indicators and displays, and DC/DC conversion.

Price (in 100-unit quantities): FMG2G50US120: US$ 57.45 (each); FMG2G75US120: US$ 67.30 (each)

Availability: Now

Delivery: 12 weeks ARO
