Powerex Compact IGBTs Enable Designer Control of Gate Drive

The Powerex Compact IGBT series modules offer a solution to designers who require more than an IGBT in their design, but are not willing to give up control of the gate drive. The Compact IGBT series includes packages with an integrated thermistor for case temperature monitoring or an over-temperature and over-current protection feature is included.

The series includes 600V duals at 400, 600 and 800 Amperes; 1200V duals at 200, 300, 400 and 600 Amperes; and 1700V duals at 400 Amperes. In addition, a 600V six-pack is offered at 200 Amperes and a 600V seven-pack is offered at 150 Amperes. Another feature of this series of low Vce(sat) for a reduction of steady-state power loss.

The Compact IGBT series is designed for use in motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies, welders, servo drives and fuel cell inverters.

Sample quantities are available from stock to 8 weeks at prices ranging from $192 to $432, depending upon device ratings.
