Microchip launches broad IGBT 7 portfolio

IGBT Trench 7 devices from Microchip offer power system designers a wide selection of current and voltage ranges, topologies, and package types. Promising increased power capability, reduced power losses, and compact sizes, the IGBTs are key components in such applications as renewable energy systems, uninterruptible power supplies, commercial and agricultural vehicles, and More Electric Aircraft (MEA).

IGBT 7 modules support voltages from 1200 V to 1700 V and currents from 50 A to 900 A. Packaging options include standard D3 and D4 62-mm types, as well as SP6C, SP1F, and SP6LI. They are also available in various configurations and topologies, including three-level NPC, three-phase bridge, boost and buck choppers, dual-common source, full-bridge, phase leg, single switch, and T-type.

These power components provide lower on-state voltage, improved antiparallel diode performance, and higher current capacity, reducing power losses and enhancing efficiency. With low-inductance packages and high overload capability at a junction temperature of +175°C, they are useful for rugged aviation and defense applications. When used for motor control, they ensure smooth switching, improving reliability, reducing EMI, and minimizing voltage spikes.

IGBT Trench 7 devices are available now in production quantities.
