Vishay Intertechnology Launches IGBT Modules for High-Power Inverter Applications
Vishay Unveils Next-Generation Half-Bridge IGBT Power Modules, Empowering Design Flexibility and Efficiency Gains
Vishay Intertechnology, a recognized leader in electronic components, has introduced a groundbreaking series of five half-bridge IGBT power modules housed in their newly redesigned INT-A-PAK package. These modules leverage Vishay's cutting-edge Trench IGBT technology, empowering designers with unprecedented flexibility in optimizing their high-power applications.
Tailored Performance for Diverse Needs:
Vishay's latest offering provides designers with the ability to choose from two distinct module options, each prioritizing a specific performance characteristic:
- VS-GT100TS065S, VS-GT150TS065S, and VS-GT200TS065S: These modules prioritize low VCE(on), enabling significant reductions in conduction losses within high current inverter stages. This is particularly beneficial for applications like transportation, energy, and industrial motor drives where minimizing energy consumption is crucial.
- VS-GT100TS065N and VS-GT200TS065N: These modules prioritize low Eoff, resulting in reduced switching losses in high-frequency power applications. This is ideal for scenarios requiring rapid switching, such as welding equipment and power converters.
This unique selection empowers designers to tailor their projects to specific requirements, whether prioritizing maximum power savings or achieving superior switching efficiency in high-frequency applications.
BonChip Electronics, a trusted distributor of the entire Vishay product line, is proud to offer these innovative modules alongside exceptional sales support, efficient order processing, and convenient delivery options. We are committed to providing you with the resources and expertise needed to bring your designs to life.
Enhanced Features and Seamless Integration:
Beyond the performance customization options, these modules boast several noteworthy enhancements:
- Improved Efficiency: The modules integrate Trench IGBTs with Gen IV FRED Pt anti-parallel diodes, delivering superior power savings compared to alternative solutions in the market.
- Compact and Adaptable Design: The redesigned INT-A-PAK package maintains a 100% compatibility with the industry-standard 34 mm package, enabling a drop-in replacement for existing designs. Additionally, the new gate pin orientation enhances layout flexibility for designers.
Extensive Application Landscape:
The industrial-grade nature of these modules makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Power supply inverters for railway equipment
- Energy generation, distribution, and storage systems
- Welding equipment, particularly TIG welders seeking to minimize conduction losses
- Motor drives in industrial and commercial settings
- Robotics applications requiring reliable and efficient power management
Unparalleled Performance and Design Freedom:
The VS-GT series caters to specific needs within these diverse applications:
- Minimized Conduction Losses: The VS-GT100TS065S, VS-GT150TS065S, and VS-GT200TS065S boast an industry-leading low VCE(on) of ≤ 1.07 V at +125 °C, making them ideal for applications like TIG welding machines where reducing conduction losses is paramount.
- Reduced Switching Losses: The VS-GT100TS065N and VS-GT200TS065N deliver exceptionally low Eoff down to 1.0 mJ at +125 °C, making them the perfect choice for high-frequency power applications demanding rapid switching.
Additional Key Features:
- 650 V collector-to-emitter voltage
