IGBT power modules offer integrated solutions
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc has introduced four new IGBT power modules designed specifically for string solar inverters and medium-power-range uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Combining Ultrafast Trench IGBTs, high-efficiency HEXFRED and FRED Pt diode technologies, and thermistors for easy thermal management in single packages featuring pressfit technology, the Vishay Semiconductor modules offer integrated solutions for inverters based on 3-level neutral point clamp (NPC) topologies and interleaved multiple-channel MPPT (maximum power point tracking) boost converters. Other features include:
"¢ A collector-to-emitter breakdown voltage of 1200 V and a collector current rating of 30 A.
"¢ A choice of 75 A and 150 A collector current ratings and 600 V and 650 V collector-to-emitter breakdown voltages.
"¢ High-temperature performance to +175 °C.
"¢ Integrated 62 A bypass diodes.
