1200 V Field Stop IGBTs introduced by ON Semi for high efficiency power conversion

ON Semiconductor has introduced a new series of Field Stop Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) targeted at industrial motor control and consumer products. The NGTB15N120, NGTB20N120 and NGTB25N120 enable high performance power conversion solutions for a wide range of applications, including induction cook tops, rice cookers and other small kitchen appliances.

The new 1200 volt (V) rated IGBTs utilize deep trench technology and state-of-the-art wafer thinning and processing techniques to enable low turn-off losses while maintaining a low "ON" state voltage during turn-on, which results in lower switching and conduction losses. These devices are offered with a choice of 15 ampere (A), 20 A and 25 A current ratings and are co-packaged with a low forward drop and soft-recovery fast rectifier to meet stringent customer requirements for high efficiency while providing a space efficient complete solution.

"ON Semiconductor has been a market leader in delivering high performance and reliable IGBTs to the automotive segment for more than a decade," said John Trice, senior director and general manager for ON Semiconductor's power discrete division. "The new 1200 V series of high performance IGBTs leverages our intellectual property and competencies in high voltage trench and wafer processing technologies while providing customers in a broad range of market sectors with a high quality and robust solution for their demanding power applications".
