Magnachip launches IGBTs for EVs

News

Rugged IGBTs can protect PTC heaters from permanent failure in overcurrent conditions

Magnachip Semiconductor has launched1200V and 650V IGBTs, designed for the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heaters of electric vehicles.

Built on the company's  Field Stop Trench technology, the newly introduced AMBQ40T120RFRTH (1200V) and AMBQ40T65PHRTH (650V) offer a minimum short-circuit withstand time of 10µs. This high level of ruggedness enables PTC heaters to be protected from a permanent failure in the event of overcurrent conditions.

Furthermore, the thick and large heat sink of the TO-247 package allows these new IGBTs to excel in heat dissipation, according to the company. This makes the IGBTs well-suited for applications requiring high power and efficiency, such as both the upper and lower sides of power management integrated circuits of PTC heaters.

“Since early last year, Magnachip has released high-performance automotive power solutions that adhere to the stringent AEC-Q101 standards,” said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. “Now that we have successfully released our first IGBT products for EVs, we will continue to expand our product lineup to meet the diverse needs of the EV market.”
