1.2kV IGBT E3 and SIMBUS F Power Module Series

August 06, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

IXYS Corporation announced the release of a new product line of IGBT power modules utilizing the latest X2PT IGBT technology in industry standard E3 and SIMBUS F housings. The newly released range of IGBT power modules will contain the second generation XPT IGBTs, the X2PT IGBT technology, resulting in improved power switching performance with the high level of ruggedness that characterized the IXYS XPT and other IGBT products.

In combination with the advanced integrated Sonic diode dies, these modules provide substantial benefits to customers by offering: Reduced Eoff; Lower Vcesat; Tjmax of 175 degrees C; Reduced Rth; Very low gate charge; Square RBSOA; and 10 microsecond short circuit capability.

First modules launched are rated at 1200V/120A (MIXG120W1200TEH) and 1200V/180A (MIXG180W1200TEH) in 6-pack configuration in an E3 housing, and a 1200V/330A (MIXG330PF1200TSF) and a 1200V/490A (MIXG490PF1200TSF) rated phase leg in a SIMBUS F housing. Higher power rating modules and the smaller E2 type modules will be introduced soon as standard products.

“With these latest additions to our IGBT portfolio, IXYS is offering economical and powerful solutions suitable for high reliability and efficient applications such as UPS, motor drives welding and solar inverters. The new X2PT generation of IXYS’ XPT technology will allow our customers to benefit from better performance at lower cost in industry standard modules,” commented Neil LeJeune, Vice President of European Sales and Business Development.

“We continue investments in our technology and are committed to provide our customers with energy efficient solutions for power and motor control applications. We also offer custom IGBT configurations in these packages that are tailored to our customers’ specific needs,” LeJeune concluded.
