Press Release Summary:
Eliminating need for high-current sense resistor, FGB3040CS minimizes power dissipation and reduces heat in automotive applications. It also eliminates gate-to-emitter input resistor, simplifying IGBT gate control. EcoSPARK® technology enables die size small enough to fit into D-Pak, and Kelvin ground promotes current sense accuracy. Also available, ignition IGBTs FGD2N40L and ISL9V2540S3S respectively suit small-engine applications and designs requiring 250 mj of SCIS capability.
Original Press Release:
Fairchild Semiconductor Offers the Industry's First Standard Current Sense Ignition IGBT for Automotive Applications
FGB3040CS lowers power dissipation by 30 Percent
SAN JOSE, Calif.-September 18, 2007-Fairchild Semiconductor's (NYSE: FCS) FGB3040CS is the industry's first standard current sense ignition IGBT. This IGBT lowers power dissipation by 30 percent and reduces heat in automotive applications by eliminating the need for a high current sense resistor. With the ability to sense current, the FGB3040CS replaces the high power sense resistor with a smaller, low current sense resistor, simplifying system component requirements and total cost. The FGB3040CS is designed with EcoSPARK® technology, offering the highest energy density for ignition IGBTs in the industry. This technology enables a die size that is small enough to fit into a D-Pak without giving up performance.
Key advantages of the FGB3040CS include:
-Thirty percent lower system power dissipation compared to existing solutions.
-EcoSPARK technology that provides the industry's highest energy density.
-Elimination of the high current sense resistor.
-A Kelvin ground to improve current sense accuracy.
-Elimination of the gate-to-emitter input resistor to simplify the IGBT gate control.
Fairchild has further expanded its IGBT portfolio with two new products, the FGD2N40L and the ISL9V2540S3S. The FGD2N40L is an ignition IGBT for small engine applications, such as lawn mowers and snow blowers. These IGBT devices offer tremendous advantages in applications that traditionally have not used these products in their designs. Traditional bi-polar technologies need base current to activate the spark, which requires a higher engine RPM for the ignition system to start. Since the gate of Fairchild's IGBT has extremely high impedance, it requires less energy to control the spark, allowing operation at lower engine RPMs. The ISL9V2540S3S is an ignition IGBT for designs requiring 250mj of SCIS capability. It reduces overall system cost compared to higher-rated ignition IGBTs.
Fairchild's unique capabilities in advanced process and packaging technologies, as well as its ability to integrate power analog, power discrete and optoelectronic functionality into innovative packaging, enable Fairchild to develop energy efficient solutions for the automotive electronics market. Fairchild offers the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of products, from 1W to >1200W, to maximize energy efficiency in today's automotive electronic applications such as power management, body control, motor control, ignition and engine management, and electric and hybrid electric vehicle systems.
