IGBTs aim for rugged performance
Two new rugged and reliable power IGBTs aim to improve appliance and industrial motor drive performance
International Rectifier has released a pair of 600V 50A non-punch-through (NPT) discrete IGBTs for motor drive applications in D2Pak and TO-220 packages. These IGBTs feature a "square" reverse bias safe operating area (RBSOA) and 10us short-circuit capability, which improves motor drive ruggedness and reliability.

A square RBSOA means that the current rating does not degrade at higher voltage.
IR's new IGBTs are ideal for hard-starting motor drive applications with high inrush currents up to 6kW.
Typical applications span from vacuum systems to switch reluctance (SR) drives and UPS systems.
Higher frequency operation expands motor speed range and improves torque control at lower speed while reducing audible noise.
Now IR's new higher current-rated IGBTs are available in smaller packages for better board layout in high performance motor drives for lower system costs.
IR's thin silicon NPT technology offers lower turnoff energy losses, allowing operation at high frequencies without any increase in conduction losses and reduced thermal resistance.
The new devices can operate up to 175C junction temperature, achieving a maximum current rating of 50A.
