Original Press Release:
APT Europe Introduces Field Stop, Trench Gate IGBT Power Modules for High Efficiency Applications
Bordeaux, France... Advanced Power Technology Europe, a leader in power module technology is pleased to announce a new product line of Field Stop, Trench Gate IGBT standard power modules. These new products broaden our offering of 600V products in the SP3 and SP6-P, and introduce a complete new line of 600V, 1200V and 1700V devices in SP4 and SP6 packages.
All these products offer minimum VCE(sat) saturation voltage (typically 1.5V for 600V, 1.7V for 1200V and 2V for 1700V). They are dedicated to low frequency operation where overall system efficiency is a concern. The ideal switching frequency is 20 kHz for 600V products, 10 kHz to 20 kHz for 1200V products and up to 10 kHz for 1700V products.
These modules are offered in buck, boost, dual buck, dual boost, dual common source, phase leg, full bridge, asymmetrical bridge, triple phase leg and triple dual common source configurations.
Current rating range from 20A to 600A for 600V devices, 50A to 400A for 1200V devices and from 50A to 300A @ for 1700V devices, all rated with Tc=80°C.
Key Features:
· Very Low Profile - Same as Industry Package SOT-227 Height for SP3 and SP6-P
· Space and Cost Savings - Small Footprint
· Solderable Terminals - Easy PCB Mounting for SP3, SP4 and SP6-P Packages
· M5 Screw Terminals for SP6
· Wide Range of Voltage and Current Ratings
· Very Low Inductance
· High Efficiency - Low VCE(sat) Saturation Voltage
· Very Short Tail Current
· Isolated Package - Easy Mounting to Heat Sink
· Easy to Parallel - Positive Temperature Coefficient
Applications
Main applications for this extended family are motor drives, Uninterruptible Power Supplies, welders, plasma cutters, solar inverters, inductive heating, solid state relays for three phase mains and other applications where low conduction is of primary concern. The very low profile offering low parasitics inductances makes this product range a component of choice when space, electrical performance, weight and cost are a concern.
