Suitable for BLDC motor drive applications
Optimized switching frequency from 5kHz to 30kHz, reduced EMI noise
Infineon Technologies unveiled next-generation TRENCHSTOP IGBT6 technology.

This discrete device with a voltage rating of 650V is optimized for general-purpose drive applications used in BLDC motors, such as home appliances, industrial sewing machines, fans, and pumps, which require long lifespan, high reliability, and efficiency.

Trench and field stop technologies (semiconductor manufacturing process technologies) are combined with soft, fast-recovery antiparallel Rapid 1 diodes to reduce losses. Capable of driving motors up to 1kW, this device features excellent thermal performance and improves reliability and design margins, particularly at high switching frequencies.

The 650V TRENCHSTOP IGBT6 features a short-circuit protection withstand capability of 3μsec and very low VCE(sat) and Vf . The device is optimized for switching frequencies in the 5kHz to 30kHz range and is suitable for applications requiring efficient control of EMI noise.

The first device of the new 650V technology family is available in a TO-220FP package with current ratings of 8 to 15A. Other package types are scheduled for release in 2019. Commercial samples of the 650V TRENCHSTOP IGBT6 can be ordered right now. More information is available at www.infineon.com/igbt6.
