IR s' automotive-qualified 600 V IGBTs with short circuit rating of =5µs

International Rectifier has introduced the family of automotive-qualified 600 V IGBTs optimized for variable speed motor control and power supply applications used in electric and hybrid vehicles.

IR says that the new devices offer a short circuit rating of =5µs, low Vce (on) and positive Vce (on) temperature coefficient for various motor drive systems from electric air conditioning to main traction inverters requiring high power density from 24 to 160A. Additional features common to the family include square reverse bias safe operating area (SRBSOA), integrated soft recovery diode and junction temperature of 175°C (max.).

"Featuring low conduction and switching losses, IR's new automotive qualified family of 600 V IGBTs are ideally suited for a variety of variable speed motor control applications used in electric and hybrid vehicle platforms," said Benjamin Jackson, senior power switch product manager, IR's Automotive Products Business Unit.

As per IR, automotive IGBTs are subject to dynamic and static part average testing combined with 100 percent automated wafer level visual inspection as part of IR's automotive quality initiative targeting zero defects.
