Infineon's industrial drives

We drive efficiency in drives – Infineon's expertise for your optimal drive systems

Industrial drives systems require energy-efficient solutions combined with a continuously increasing need for higher power density. Environmental concerns are challenging system designers to question the wasteful practice of overrating for longer service life. As a result, more motor drives are being replaced with smart, electrically controlled motors in industrial, consumer, and automotive applications.

Addressing these market challenges requires industry know-how and the use of the latest technologies. Infineon has applied both during the development of the latest offering for industrial drives systems. Our IGBT7 and CoolSiC™ MOSFET technologies represent the best performance, reliability, and ease of use for system designers.

Choose Infineon as your one-stop shop for customized, high-quality solutions for industrial drive systems and design your system solution with complementary products such as gate drivers, sensors, microcontrollers, and safety solutions.

EBV - Motor Control Solutions - The features and benefits of IGBT7 technology - Mixed Media

The features and benefits of IGBT7 technology in drives applications

The unique and specific requirements of motor drive systems demand a new approach to IGBT design. With the right IGBT technology, it is possible to create better-positioned modules to address these needs. This approach Infineon has taken with its latest generation of IGBT technology, the IGBT7. At the chip level, the IGBT7 uses micro-pattern trenches (MPT), the structure of which contributes significantly to reducing forward voltage and increased conductivity in the drift zone. For applications with a moderate switching frequency, such as motor drives, the IGBT7 significantly reduces previous generations' losses. Another improvement offered by IGBT7 from a generation earlier (IGBT4) is the freewheeling diode that has also been optimized for drive applications. The forward voltage drop of the emitter-controlled diode, EC7, is now 100 mV lower than the forward voltage drop of the EC4 diode, with improved reverse-recovery softness.

Silicon carbide solutions for industrial drives – CoolSiC™ MOSFETs for servo drives

With more automation being used across industries, there is a correspondingly increased demand for servo motors. Their ability to combine precise motion control with high torque levels makes them the perfect fit for automation and robotics. Using its manufacturing expertise and long experience, Infineon has developed a SiC trench technology that offers higher performance than the IGBT but with comparable robustness, e.g., short-circuit time of two (or 2) µs or even three (or 3) µs. Infineon's CoolSiC™ MOSFETs also address potential problems inherent in SiC devices, such as unwanted capacitive turn-on. Furthermore, the SiC MOSFETs are available in the industry-standard TO247-3 package, and now with even better switching performance, in the TO247- 4 package. In addition, the CoolSiC^TM MOSFETs are also available in the SMD package TO267-7. Besides these TO-packages, the SiC MOSFET is also available in Easy 1B, Easy 2B, and 62mm packages.
