Nexperia Introduces New 600 V Single Tube IGBT for Outstanding Efficiency in Power Applications

Nexperia, a high-capacity specialist in basic semiconductor devices, has announced that it will enter the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) market with its 600 V device family, and the 30A NGW30T60M3DF will be its first entry into the market.

These devices help increase power density in power conversion and motor drive applications, including industrial motor drives (e.g., 5 to 20 kW (20 kHz) servo motors), robotics, elevators, machine manipulators, industrial automation, power inverters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), photovoltaic (PV) cascade assemblies, EV charging, and induction heating and welding.

IGBTs are a relatively mature technology. Nonetheless, the market for these devices is expected to grow with the increasing popularity of solar panels and electric vehicle (EV) chargers. Nexperia's 600 V IGBTs utilize a robust, cost-effective carrier-storage trench gate- field cutoff (FS) structure that provides ultra-low conduction and switching loss performance with high durability at operating temperatures up to 175°C. This improves the efficiency and reliability of power inverters, induction heaters and industrial applications such as motor dr ives and servos. This improves efficiency and reliability in power inverters, induction heaters, welding equipment and industrial applications such as motor drives and servos, robotics, elevators, machine operators and industrial automation.

Dr. K. Kang, general manager of Nexperia's Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors and Modules business unit, said, "With the release of IGBTs, Nexperia offers designers a wider selection of power switching devices to meet the needs of a wide range of power applications, and IGBTs ideally complement Nexperia's existing family of CMOS and wide bandgap switching devices. Ideally complementing Nexperia's existing range of CMOS and wide bandgap switching devices, Nexperia can thus offer power electronics designers a one-stop shop." 

These IGBTs are available in a lead-free TO247-3L standard package and pass the stringent HV-H3TRB quality standard for outdoor applications.Nexperia plans to follow this product release with a 1200 V IGBT family of devices.
