Adopting TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 chip
Infineon EconoDUAL 3 portfolio
Provides rated current ranging from 300 to 900A


Infineon announced on the 15th that its EconoDUAL™ 3 portfolio, featuring TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 chips, now offers current ratings ranging from 300 A to 900 A. Offering increased flexibility and improved power density and performance, these products are ideal for solar and drive applications, commercial, construction, and agricultural vehicles (CAVs), and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) inverters.

The EconoDUAL 3, featuring the TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 chip, utilizes a new micro-pattern trench technology to operate with significantly lower conduction losses than modules using the IGBT4 chipset. It also offers a 30% lower on-state voltage with the same chip area.

This significantly reduces losses in industrial drive applications typically operating at intermediate switching frequencies. Furthermore, it improves oscillation characteristics and IGBT control, and can operate at junction temperatures up to 175°C under overload.

The new chip standard enables optimized module layout, reducing switching losses. The switching losses of the 600A module are reduced by up to 24% compared to previous-generation modules. This allows the application to use higher switching frequencies, simplifying the design.

Additionally, all functions are implemented in the same footprint, allowing for easy upgrades to existing inverter system designs. The expanded current ratings of 750 A and 900 A enable the EconoDUAL 3 package to handle higher inverter power levels. The PressFIT housing enables fast and economical assembly.

The 1200V TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 EconoDUAL™ 3 is available for order now. Infineon plans to offer products with TIM applied soon.
