The 650V IGBTs scale back losses, improve photo voltaic inverter effectivity by 15%, face up to warmth and humidity, and improve reliability for industrial and Energy programs.
Magnachip Semiconductor Company has launched two new Sixth-generation (Gen6) 650V Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) particularly designed to be used in photo voltaic inverters. The brand new IGBTs characteristic polyimide insulation layers, built-in quick restoration anti-parallel diodes, and assist operation as much as 175°C. The MBQ40T65S6FHTH mannequin reduces conduction loss by 25%, whereas the MBQ40T65S6FSTH mannequin cuts switching loss by 15% and conduction loss by 8%.
The usage of polyimide insulation layers permits the gadgets to move high-voltage, high-humidity, and high-temperature reverse bias checks, making certain secure efficiency in excessive situations. The built-in anti-parallel diodes assist to rapidly clear residual present, decreasing switching losses. With excessive thermal tolerance, the gadgets keep operation even underneath elevated temperatures. The MBQ40T65S6FHTH is optimised for 15 kW photo voltaic inverters, whereas the MBQ40T65S6FSTH is tuned for 3 kW programs.
Because of this, photo voltaic inverters utilizing the MBQ40T65S6FHTH obtain round 15% increased system effectivity, whereas these utilizing the MBQ40T65S6FSTH see an 11% effectivity achieve. These enhancements assist solar energy programs generate extra power from the identical enter, scale back energy losses, and decrease total operational prices. The IGBTs additionally allow longer system life and better reliability in industrial motor drives, energy provides, and uninterruptible energy programs.
“Within the second half of this 12 months, we plan to introduce a broader vary of Gen6 650V IGBT merchandise with present rankings from 5A to 75A as a part of our technique to broaden our pipeline of new-generation Energy merchandise considerably,” stated YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. “We’ve a confirmed observe file in Energy with practically 1,000 chip designs and the manufacture and cargo of greater than 23 billion models since we entered the Energy enterprise in 2007. Shifting ahead, we’ll proceed to strengthen our IGBT product household to drive innovation in renewable power, automotive, industrial and AI functions.”
