Infineon Technologies PrimePACK™ with IGBT5 and .XT

PrimePACK™ with IGBT5 and .XT is an excellent answer to the demanding requirements of wind converters due to the combination of .XT and IGBT5.

The use of sophisticated .XT interconnection technology offers 10 times higher power cycling capabilities than the standard IGBTs and the IGBT5 chip technology offers 25 % higher power density than its predecessors.

In a nutshell, Prime PACKTM IGBT5.XT enables:

A. Increase the power with a smaller number of modules.

B. Benchmark in lifetime and reliability (lower FIT rate)

Key features

• IGBT5 chip technology
• .XT interconnection technology using sintering and copper bond wires
• 1200 A, 1500 A and 1800 A in both 1200 V and 1700 V
• Half-bridge configuration

Additional features

• Also available with pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM)
• HV-H3TRB humidity robustness
• PrimePACK™ package with CTI > 400
• Increased power density by 25%
• 10 times higher power cycling capabilities, thus 10 times longer lifetime than standard IGBTs
• Less cooling effort for same output power
• Higher system overload conditions

Applications

• Motor control and drives
• Central inverter solutions
• Commercial/construction and agricultural vehicles
• Wind energy systems
