Toshiba Introduces 4500 V IEGT Designed for Industrial Motor Control Use
Toshiba Unveils High-Power Press Pack IEGT for Enhanced Performance in High-Voltage Converters
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has introduced a groundbreaking new press pack Injection Enhanced Gate Transistor (IEGT), the ST1000GXH35. This innovative device boasts impressive ratings of 4500 V/1000 A, making it ideal for demanding applications such as:
- DC Power Transmission Systems
- Static VAR Compensators
- Industrial Motor Controllers
Technological Advancements for Superior Performance
The ST1000GXH35 leverages cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional performance:
- Trench-type IEGT Chips: These advanced chips contribute to lower collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)), improved shutdown tolerance, enhanced short-circuit tolerance, and superior high-temperature performance.
- High-Speed Diode Chips: By suppressing voltage oscillation during reverse recovery, these specialized chips elevate reverse recovery tolerance and further enhance high-temperature operation.
Quantifiable Performance Improvements
The ST1000GXH35 offers significant performance enhancements compared to previous-generation products:
- Reduced Collector-Emitter Saturation Voltage: VCE(sat) is reduced by approximately 28%, translating to improved efficiency.
- Lower Turn-On Switching Loss: Eon is reduced by approximately 34%, leading to increased efficiency and reduced heat generation.
- Enhanced High-Voltage Capability: The test voltage for shutdown and short-circuit tests has been raised to 3400 V, ensuring reliable operation in high-voltage applications.
- Elevated Maximum Junction Temperature: The junction temperature rating has been increased to 150°C, enabling operation in demanding thermal environments.
Benefits for High-Voltage Converter Applications
The ST1000GXH35 offers several key benefits for designers of high-voltage converters:
- Reduced System Size: The high output current capability allows for the use of fewer devices, leading to a more compact system design.
- Improved Efficiency: Lower VCE(sat) and Eon contribute to significant efficiency gains, translating to lower energy consumption and operating costs.
- Enhanced Reliability: The improved shutdown tolerance, short-circuit tolerance, and high-temperature performance ensure reliable operation in critical applications.
