Fairchild Semiconductor Announce New 1200 V Field Stop Trench IGBT
Fairchild Semiconductor, a global supplier of high performance power and mobile semiconductor solutions, introduces a series of 1200 V field stop trench IGBTs. Targeting hard-switching industrial applications such as solar inverters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and welders, Fairchild believe this new IGBT series will help power engineers achieve better efficiency and reliability in their designs.
This new 1200 V field stop IGBT series minimizes conduction losses by having a VCE(SAT) of 1.8 V, which is far lower than that of the previous fast-switching NPT IGBTs. These new devices have one of the lowest VCE(SAT) ratings available in the 1200 V fast-switching IGBT market. The switching losses are low with an EOFF value of under 30 µJ/A. All devices contain a co-packed diode optimized for fast switching.
"New, innovative power electronic technologies are required to help solar inverter manufacturers reduce cost, improve efficiency and improve reliability, " MH Lee, Director, Industrial Power Systems at Fairchild. "Our 1200 V field stop trench IGBT series helps customers drive higher energy efficiencies and high reliability in their solar inverter designs, and helps manufacturers address government regulations and meet their end-customers demand for increased energy savings."
