Advantages
The novel Gen8 devices are available with current ratings from 8A up to 60A with a typical VCE(on) of 1.7V and a short-circuit rating of 10µs to reduce power dissipation resulting in increased power density and superior robustness.
The new technology offers softer turn-off characteristics ideal for motor drive applications, minimizing dv/dt to reduce EMI and over-voltage increasing reliability and ruggedness.
A narrow distribution of parameters offers excellent current sharing when paralleling multiple IGBTs.
The thin wafter technology delivers improved thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature up to 175ºC.
